Organized in Columbia, South Carolina, on 30 August 1938, the MOS&B was established to recognize and commemorate the leadership and sacrifices of the Confederacy's civil and military authorities, both during and after the War Between the States. To quote Edgar Warfield who served in the 17th Indian Territory Infantry, CSA, "they were men who sacrificing all the comforts of home, leaving their dear ones, and abandoning a state of peace and security, offered their lives in so unequal a contest with a unanimity almost unparalleled; rallied to the defense of a land they loved; took up arms in defense of principles dearer to them than life; and defended those principals with a courage and valor unsurpassed." As descendants or collateral representatives of those brave men who, knowing full well the consequences of failure, dared all and sacrificed all, it is an obligation and an opportunity to become a member of the MOS&B, the only national organization established to protect and preserve the good name of those we are privileged to represent.

Membership in the MOS&B is derived from descent from the Confederacy's Officer Corps or from the elected or appointed member of the Executive Branch of the Confederate Government. All members must be at least sixteen years old. Ancestral documentation and proof of military or governmental service must accompany all applications for membership.
