Celebrating 151 years of service to our Army The 15th Infantry traces our official Army lineage to the 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry constituted on 3 May 1861 by General Order Number 33. See our history and visit one of the battlefields on which the Regulars served from 1861 to 1862 in the Army of the Ohio. The anniversary of the Shiloh Campaign is 6-7 April. It was at Shiloh that the 15th Infantry secured the distinction of being the first new regular infantry regiment to engage in battle during the Civil War. The advance South into Mississippi and the Corinth Campaign took place April - May 1862.
