    Organized by Louis Kohler from March to June 1863, the company formed as part of the Burnside Rifles, under Colonel Edward Weheler, however, with the failure to secure enough recruits to form a regiment, the regiment failed to be organized.

On June 21st, 1863, the Company, along with Companies A, B, D, and E under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Charles F. Smith, broke camp and moved to Washington, D.C., arriving there a day later going into camp initially at Fort Ward, but then moving to the Martindale Barracks, and later to the Cliffburne Barracks, where they were joined by the remainder of the regiment that October.

    On February 1st, 1865, while stationed at Eastport, Mississippi, the entire regiment was reorganized and consolidated into a battalion of five Companies; as such the company received a number of men from Companies G and H. At that time Captain Kohler was discharged, and Captain Albert Koehne of Company G assumed command of the company. Serving with the regiment in the various campaigns and actions, the company was mustered out of United States service with the regiment at Montgomery, Alabama, on April 20th, 1866, under the command of Captain Koehne.

      COMPANY C

    Organized by Charles S. Schoreck from March to June 1863, the company formed as part of the Burnside Rifles, under Colonel Edward Weheler, however, with the failure to secure enough recruits to form a regiment, the regiment failed to be organized. On June 18th, 1863, those men recruited for the Burnside Rifles were ordered consolidated with five other failed regiments, and on June 18th, 1863, the company was officially mustered into United States service as Company C of the 178th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment at Camp Sprague on Staten Island, New York, for three years' service. On June 21st, 1863, the Company, along with Companies A, B, D, and E under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Charles F. Smith, broke camp and moved to Washington, D.C., arriving there a day later going into camp initially at Fort Ward, but then moving to the Martindale Barracks, and later to the Cliffburne Barracks, where they were joined by the remainder of the regiment that October.

    On February 1st, 1865, while stationed at Eastport, Mississippi, the entire regiment was reorganized and consolidated into a battalion of five Companies; as such the company received a number of men from Companies G, H, I and K. At that time Captain Schoreck was discharged, and Lieutenant William G. Tack of Company I was promoted to Captain of the company. Serving with the regiment in the various campaigns and actions, the company was mustered out of United States service with the regiment at Montgomery, Alabama, on April 20th, 1866, under the command of Captain Tack.

      COMPANY G

    Captain Koehne's Company was organized from July to August 1863 at the Sprague Barracks at New Drop, Staten Island, New York, as part of Colonel George W. Von Shack's with the reorganizing 7th Veteran Infantry Regiment. The company was mustered into United States service as Company A of the 7th New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment on August 31st, 1863, at Staten Island, New York, for three years' service, however, efforts to recruit the full regiment failed, and on October 14th, 1863, the company was transferred and designated as Company G of the 178th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

    Along with Companies H, I, and K under the command of Colonel Wehler, they left from Staten Island, New York, and joined the rest of the Regiment at Washington, D.C., arriving there on October 24th, 1863.

    Due to the losses sustained over the past year of marches, battles and skirmishes the regiment was greatly reduced in numbers, and on January 30th, 1865, Major General A.J. Smith issued Special Order No. 18 consolidating the regiment's ten companies in a battalion of five companies. Per these orders, Company G was officially disbanded on February 1st, 1865, while in camp at Eastport, Mississippi, with the enlisted men being transferred to Companies B, C & D, Captain Koehne, 1st Lieutenant Prael and 2nd Lieutenant Rebholtz were transferred to Company B.

      COMPANY H

    Captain Gudath's Company was organized from between June and August 1863 as part of the 8th New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment with men from the City of New York, and surrounding area, at Camp Sprague on Staten Island, New York, the men enlisting for the period of three years' service. Completing its organization the company was mustered into United States service on August 29th, 1863, by 1st Lieutenant M. Dolan (2nd U.S. Infantry) at Camp Sprague as Company A of the Eighth (8th) New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment under the command of Captain August Gudath. Despite the best efforts of the officers to complete the organization of the 8th Veteran Regiment, it failed to organize more than two companies, and on October 14th, 1863, the State Adjutant General issued orders consolidation the two companies into the One hundred and seventy-eighth (178th) New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, and Gudath's Company was designated as Company H of the regiment, joining the battalion of the regiment at Camp Sprague on Staten Island.

    On October 22nd, 1863, the company, as part of the battalion under Colonel Wehler, left the Camp and moved to join the regiment at the Martindale Barracks in Washington, D.C., arriving on October 23rd, 1863. From this point forward the company would take part in all the marches and campaigns of the regiment.

    Due to the losses sustained over the past year of marches, battles and skirmishes the regiment was greatly reduced in numbers, and on January 30th, 1865, Major General A.J. Smith issued Special Order No. 18 consolidating the regiment's ten companies in a battalion of five companies. Per these orders, Company H was officially disbanded on February 1st, 1865, while in camp at Eastport, Mississippi, with the enlisted men being transferred to Companies B, C & D, Captain Lesser had been discharged from the service in December 1864 and his place had not yet been filled, 1st Lieutenant Rockefeller was transferred Company A and 2nd Lieutenant Hackenburg was discharged from the service.

      COMPANY I

    Captain Lesser's Company was organized from between June and September 1863 as part of the 8th New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment with men from the City of New York, and surrounding area, on Staten Island, New York, the men enlisting for the period of three years' service. Completing its organization the company was mustered into United States service on September 3rd, 1863, by 1st Lieutenant Richard C. Parker (12th U.S. Infantry) on Staten Island as Lesser's Company of the Eighth (8th) New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment under the command of Captain Julius Lesser. Despite the best efforts of the officers to complete the organization of the 8th Veteran Regiment, it failed to organize more than two companies, and on October 14th, 1863, the State Adjutant General issued orders consolidation the two companies into the One hundred and seventy-eighth (178th) New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, and Lesser's Company was designated as Company I of the regiment, joining the battalion of the regiment at Camp Sprague on Staten Island.

    On October 22nd, 1863, the company, as part of the battalion under Colonel Wehler, left the Camp and moved to join the regiment at the Martindale Barracks in Washington, D.C., arriving on October 23rd, 1863. From this point forward the company would take part in all the marches and campaigns of the regiment.

    Due to the losses sustained over the past year of marches, battles and skirmishes the regiment was greatly reduced in numbers, and on January 30th, 1865, Major General A.J. Smith issued Special Order No. 18 consolidating the regiment's ten companies in a battalion of five companies. Per these orders, Company I was officially disbanded on February 1st, 1865, while in camp at Eastport, Mississippi, with the enlisted men being transferred to Companies C & D, Captain Lesser had been discharged in October and his place had not yet been filled, 1st Lieutenant Tack was promoted to Captain of Company C and 2nd Lieutenant Meltzing was discharged from the service.

      COMPANY K

    Captain Gray's Company was organized from August to October 1863 with men from the City of New York, and surrounding area, at Camp Sprague on Staten Island, New York, the men enlisting for the period of three years' service. With its organization completed the company was mustered into United States service on October 17th, 1863, by 1st Lieutenant Gustavus Urban (5th U.S. Cavalry) at Camp Sprague as Company K of the One hundred and seventy-eight (178th) New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, under the command of Captain George C. Gray. On October 22nd, 1863, the company, as part of the battalion under Colonel Wehler, left the Camp and moved to join the regiment at the Martindale Barracks in Washington, D.C., arriving on October 23rd, 1863. From this point forward the company would take part in all the marches and campaigns of the regiment.

    Due to the losses sustained over the past year of marches, battles and skirmishes the regiment was greatly reduced in numbers, and on January 30th, 1865, Major General A.J. Smith issued Special Order No. 18 consolidating the regiment's ten companies in a battalion of five companies. Per these orders, Company K was officially disbanded on February 1st, 1865, while in camp at Eastport, Mississippi, with the enlisted men being transferred to Companies C, D & E, Captain Gray was discharged, and 1st Lieutenant Rockefeller and 2nd Lieutenant Knight were transferred to Company E.
