Evaluate the drafted changes
As a draft of a new article, I think you have a good start! The background gives a good overview of everything the article will cover with the sections you plan to add. In making the lead for the article, I feel like the first half of that first paragraph works great, as it covers the who, what, where, and why for the unit without going into too much detail. The article does a great job of keeping a balanced, neutral tone throughout.

The in-text citations are missing, which is important given the range of time between your different sources (some from the last 2-3 years, some from the 1930'S and 40's). It would be good to know what information is the result of more recent investigation and which pieces are older. It also might be nice to mentioned the renewed interest in the Red Rovers in the legacy section (if you weren't planning on including it already).

I feel like this definitely meets the Notability requirement for new Wikipedia articles. The fact that this company was made up of the majority of this small town, coupled with the fact that they met with such a hard fate, means that the Red Rovers and their actions would have absolutely had an impact on their surrounding community and maybe even the state itself.

That being said, I do have a few questions from the information already provided. Was the Battle of Coleto the unit's only engagement? Did they fight as an independent unit, or were they placed within a larger formation (regiment, brigade, etc.)? Were the five men listed the only ones to escape the Goliad Massacre? Did the townspeople learn about the massacre? I'm sure these questions will be answered as you improve the article further and flesh out the subsections listed.
