In May 1862, John R. Baylor received authority to organize five battalions of Partisan Rangers of six companies each.

The purpose of the so-called Arizona Brigade was to reconquer the southwestern territories lost during the New Mexico campaign.

After Baylor was dismissed from command, Madison's battalion merged with several additional companies to form a regiment and John Phillips was appointed colonel.

After marching to Arkansas in September 1864, the regiment returned to Texas near Houston in December.
