The Eleventh Army was a field army of the United States Army commanded by Major General Abner Dowling. Despite its name, it was smaller than a corps of a full-sized field army, with an approximate combat strength of one and a half divisions. The Eleventh Army had one infantry division, and several supporting combat units, as well as barrel units, artillery units, combat engineering units, and, because of the nature of the war in the West, horse cavalry units.
