Later, the unit was assigned to Trigg's, Reynolds', Brown's, and Reynolds' Consolidated, and Palmer's Brigade, Army of Tennessee. It participated in many battles from Chickamauga to Atlanta, endured John Bell Hood's winter operations, and fought in North Carolina. On April 9, 1865, it merged into the 54th Virginia Infantry Battalion.
