The District of California was a Union Army command department formed during the American Civil War.  The district was part of the Department of the Pacific, the commander of the department also being District commander.  The district was created as a separate command on July 1, 1864, after Irvin McDowell took command of the Department of the Pacific, relieving General Wright, who then remained as District of California commander.  The District comprised the state of California and the areas of the Rogue River and Umpqua River in Southern Oregon.  Its headquarters were in San Francisco, co-located with those of the Department of the Pacific.  On March 14, 1865, the District of Oregon was extended to include the entire state of Oregon, removing the Rogue River and Umpqua River areas from the District. Orville Elias Babcock (December 25, 1835 – June 2, 1884) was an American Civil War General in the Union Army.  He graduated third in his class at the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1861, and served in the United States Army Corps of Engineers throughout the Civil War.  As Assistant Engineer and aide-de-camp for district commander Nathaniel P. Banks, in 1862 Babock worked on fortifications to aid in defending the nation's capitol from Confederate attack.  Babcock later served as aide-de-camp for Ulysses S. Grant and participated in the Overland Campaign.  He was promoted to Brevet Brigadier General in 1865 and continued on Grant's staff during Reconstruction.  After Grant became President in 1869, Babcock was appointed Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds for Washington, DC and Secretary to the President of the United States—in modern terms, the chief of staff—and he served in both posts until 1876.  Upon his appointment Babcock was young and ambitious, and considered the Iago of the Grant administration.  In 1869, Grant sent Babcock on a mission to explore the possibility of annexing the island nation of Santo Domingo to the United States. Colvin joined the Baltimore Police Department in 1973, patrolling his home neighborhood in Baltimore's Western District.  Over his tenure, he advanced to the rank of district commander in the Western.  Colvin's philosophy of policing involves protecting the community he serves by making quality arrests through the use of trusted informants on his foot post.  As a commander, he insists that his men learn their foot post and urges them to focus on doing real police work.  Toward the end of his career, he begins seeing the War on Drugs as an ineffective waste of time and resources that has led to many needless casualties in his district.

Fort Phil Kearny was an outpost of the United States Army that existed in the late 1860s in present-day northeastern Wyoming along the Bozeman Trail.  Construction began Friday July 13, 1866 by Companies A, C, E and H of the 2nd Battalion, 18th Infantry, under the direction of the regimental commander and Mountain District commander Colonel Henry B. Carrington.  The post was named for Maj. Gen. Philip Kearny, a popular figure in the American Civil War.  The fort should be distinguished from the similarly named Fort Kearny in Nebraska, which was named for Kearny's uncle Stephen W. Kearny.  Today, the fort and the nearby Fetterman and Wagon Box battle sites are maintained by the State of Wyoming as the Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site. Orville E.
