They are designed around the concept that the strength of the Brigade comes from the strength of the individual units and therefore the utmost effort is done to maintain the integrity and individuality of the member units. Membership is voluntary and attendance at any and all events is voluntary but each member unit makes a commitment of honor to promote Louisiana events, sister units and their events and to strive to improve the standards of re-enacting in Louisiana and in their respective units. Brigade has command authority on the field only. There are no dues and no newsletters. There are a minimum of 2 meetings annually, usually held at a commonly attended event.
All members are welcome, no delegates unless by the choice of the individual units.
As this is a field formation only and not associated with the running of units or unit politics, women cannot vote. The Brigade does not field women in the ranks.
