The State Guards were short-lived had been disbanded by early 1864 due to pressure from the CS government and changes in the conscription law. Shortly after disbanding the Guards, Gov. Brown and Gen. Cobb organized the Reserve. Though technically these men were on six month enlistments, many served for the duration of The War. Many served as POW guards at Andersonville and Macon.

He and James Fannin were appointed "colonels." After Bowie died at the Alamo, Fannin was left sole "Colonel" of the "Texas Army." In 1862, James H. Fannin organized Company B of the 60th Georgia Regiment but did not enter service with it. He later organized and commanded the 1st Georgia Reserves. These men served primarily as prison guards at Andersonville. The reserves were a part of some 5,000 men who served as guards and staff at different times. Col. Fannin remembered that he seldom had more than a thousand or twelve hundred men fit for duty. At the close of the war the prisoners at Andersonville were transferred to Camp Lawton near Waynesboro and Florence South Carolina. Some of the men of the 1st may have accompanied the prisoners, but it appears most of them were involved in the battle of West Point and captured along with Col. Fannin.
