The regiment served in the Western Theater, primarily as part of the XV Corps in the Army of the Tennessee. ==Organization== Special Order Number 882 of October 1861 authorized Col. Charles R. Woods to organize a regiment of infantry at Camp Sherman, near Newark, Ohio. Recruitment had begun for a Licking County regiment as early as September 1861. Enrollment was for three years' duty. Since the majority of the troops were from Licking County, the regiment had the field nickname of "The Licking Volunteers."

Colonel William Burnham Woods * Major Willard Warner * Adjutant Jerome N. Rappleyea (1831-1896) * Quartermaster Henry D. Wright * Surgeon Charles R. Pierce * Asst. Surgeon Thomas B.
