In the game's words
How to use it
The Regular replaces the Musketeer and is unique to the United States. It is available starting in the Commerce Age and, like the Musketeer, is an all-around strong soldier that is effective against cavalry. United States Regulars have a higher range than their European counterparts, however, giving them a slight edge in battle.
History
As the American Revolution erupted, the Continental Congress realized the need for a regular, disciplined, and well trained army rather than a patchwork of local militias. The Continental Army was initially at a steep disadvantage when facing the British, but the leadership of influential figures such as George Washington, the Marquis de La Fayette, and Baron von Steuben helped the fledgling force evolve into a disciplined, effective military machine. From that point on, regular troops became the backbone of the American armed forces, drawing on people from all backgrounds and walks of life and bringing them together in the service of the growing nation.

How this is worked out
Each hit: damage × every multiplier that matches the target's types × (1 − the target's resist to that damage). Two ranged units trade shots; against a melee-only unit the better of ranged and melee is used. Damage per second = hit ÷ seconds between attacks.
Armies bought with the same resources fight by Lanchester's square law: strength = (resources ÷ unit cost)² × damage per second × hit points. The edge is the square root of the strength ratio. All matchups.
