Jean, Making the assumption that all the soldiers have a unique Event/Description in common then I would use Search/Find to create a name list then tag them all and export the files to a new folder.

I would like to move those individuals to a new family file that I will name Revolutionary War. There are a few hundred of these military records, my total family database has several thousand records. Question: How do I move individuals [of the same surname] and their supporting data, sources, and family members to a new database? I do not want my ancestor or his descendants in this file. Because the surname has several spelling options I assume the process is the same for each spelling of the surname. I use the most recent version of Legacy Deluxe: 8.0.0.501.
