A number of South Carolina militia units were adopted into the Continental Army.

The 1st South Carolina Regiment, organized in 1775, consisted of ten companies. The Regiment was consolidated, although it retained its name, with the 5th Regiment, February 11, 1780 to consist of nine companies. It was reorganized in late 1782 and early 1783 to consist of three companies, and disbanded November 15, 1783. The 2nd Regiment was also organized in 1775 to consist of ten companies. It was consolidated (but retained its name) with the 6th Regiment on February 11, 1780. The Regiment was captured at Charleston, South Carolina May 12, 1780. It was disbanded January 1, 1781. Benjamin Marion served as a captain and major (1775-1777) in Berkeley County Regiment (2nd South Carolina Regiment) during the American Revolution.
