Yellow Jackets and Weatherly's Sharpshooters

Hello all, I'm new on this site, great site.
My g-grandfather Dacourt Dugas is listed with the Yellow Jackets, on the Bayou Teche,were they malitia?
Other g-grandfather, Lastie/Lasty Trahan with 15th (Weatherly's) Battalion Sharpshooter Infantry
Who were these units?
Does anyone have information on battles and whether they stayed in the area of the Teche or not.
Any information on these 2 units?
