First- this means you are playing with the Corps Sub Commander option on- Rule 18.3 after Dec 1861.
The Number (-6 )for instance, means that the corps he is commanding has +6 more infantry steps in it than he can command and will be an additional negative combat modifier It is a negative effect. You should try not to take your corps into battle reading to far in the negative- The Corps commander needs to assign Corps Sub Commanders to his corps, just like you assign troop steps. - and they each can command a certain number of additional units within the corps based on their rank- when you have enough command control available the CSC number in the (-) will disappear and you will get no negative combat modifiers assigned.
This sub commander attachment must be done before the Corps enters into an enemy zone-there is no Command point cost to attach or detach leaders like there is with infantry- which is really important if also using the LCPR rule. the attachment should be made before you move in when possible. Leaders under 6 command points do not get effected by CSC and may not attach units- they are effectively unable to be corps commanders. Just divison or brigade commanders.
It is a good idea to constantly look at your corps each turn as sub leaders can get promoted and the corps may have more CSC attached than needed-

Hancock's Staff in 1863 when he commanded 2nd Corps, union AOP - that is the flag behind them- the trefoil or Clubs of the 1860s of playing cards- and the Battle cry of the 2nd Corps " Clubs is Trumps" 2nd corp trumped them all at Gettysburg,
