Here are all of the Army Corps and Division-size units and their commanders who participated in the Maryland Campaign of 1862.

Federal units are listed by Corps and Division number, Confederates by Commanders' names. Each unit name is a link to more information about it and to the subsidiary units which made it up. Officers' names are links to brief biographical information and (sometimes) pictures of them.

Note that in some cases more than one officer is listed for a unit. This occurs when the original (first listed) commander was killed, wounded, relieved, or moved to another command and was replaced by the next named officer.
