The Second Continental Congress, the de facto governing body of the
United Colonies (soon to be the United States) during the American Revolution,
created the Continental Army on June 14, 1775, and appointed George Washington
as General and Commander-in-Chief the next day. The army was organized in
Massachusetts during the siege of Boston. Enlistments in the army expired at the
end of 1775, and in 1776 a newly organized army was created by George Washington
and the Congress.
The Commander-in-Chief's Guard was authorized on 11 March 1776 and
organized the next day at Cambridge, Massachusetts. The purpose of the unit was
to protect General Washington as well as the money and official papers of the
Continental Army. General Washington directed the formation of a "corps of
sober, intelligent, and reliable men". The unit was initially created by
selecting four men from each Continental Army regiment present at the siege of
Boston. Washington's general order on 11 March outlined the type of men he hoped
to recruit
