At the Battle of Valverde on 21 February 1862, the Confederates captured five artillery pieces from Union forces.

The artillery battery officially formed on 1 June 1862 at Fort Bliss.

It later transferred to Louisiana where it helped capture the USS Diana and fought at Fort Bisland and Vermilion Bayou in 1863.

After two old howitzers were replaced by two new captured guns, the unit fought at Monett's Ferry.
