As part of the Plan of San Diego, the rebels launched a raid across the Rio Grande into Texas on October 21, 1915 aimed at harassing the American outposts along the Mexican border and disrupting the local economy.

After moving across the border, the Sediciosos began an assault against the United States Army Signal Corps station at Ojo de Agua.

The small group of American defenders was cornered into a single building and suffered heavy casualties before reinforcements arrived driving the Seditionist force back into Mexico.

[2] In order to protect the Big Bend region, the United States deployed a number of cavalry and signalmen in various posts along the Texas border.

[5] After crossing the Rio Grande and arriving at Ojo de Agua at approximately 1 am, the Mexican raiders attacked the village's garrison.

[8] Although the U.S. troops at Ojo de Agua were unable to call for reinforcements because their wireless station had been disabled, U.S. detachments in the vicinity heard gunfire and two groups of American cavalry set out to investigate.

[10] Wishing to maintain good relations with the United States, Carranza ordered the Sedicioso commanders to cease their raiding activities.
