The regiment arrived at Camp Mount, April 26, 1898, under orders from the Governor, for the purpose of being mustered into the service of the United States. The same care was used in the physical examination of this regiment as obtained in the other regiments, and they were mustered into the volunteer service of the United States on May 12.
The regiment left Camp Mount on May 22, and arrived at Camp R. A. Alger, Dunn Loring, Virginia, a distance of 40 miles.

Under orders for the muster out of the regiment, they left Camp Meade on September 11, arrived at Camp Mount on September 13, and on the 18th the regiment was furloughed for 30 days, which was extended to include November 10 by telegraphic instructions from the War Dept. The regiment was finally mustered out and discharged November 23, 1898.
