Due to bad recruitment and horrible discipline, the 2nd-4th Georgia regiments were all later disbanded, and personnel joined the (1st) Georgia Regiment.

On 5 July 1776, as part of the 1776 quotas, the 2nd Georgia Regiment was formed as part of the Continental Army and subsequently assigned to the Southern Department.

On 23 December 1777 the regiment was assigned to the new formed Georgia Brigade which contained the 1st-3rd Georgian regiments, an element in the Southern Department.

[1][2][3] By March 1780, the regiment moved into the Charleston, South Carolina garrison, and captured there by the British Southern Army on 12 May 1780.

[1][4][5][3] There is very little information on the uniform of the regiment, but the norm seems to have been hunting shirts and gaiter trousers.
