The Headquarters of the Regiment was established at Camp Frelinghuysen, Newark, New Jersey, and active measures were put forth to complete the organization at an early day. The required number of men to complete the Regiment was soon raised and mustered into the service of the United States, by companies, for one year. Soon after the commencement of this regiment, authority was issued for the raising of another regiment of Infantry, to be known as the 41st, recruiting being dull it failed of success - the men that had been enlisted for it were transferred to and joined this regiment.

In 1865 during the months of March and April, the strength of the Regiment was increased by the joining from Draft Rendezvous, Trenton, New Jersey, of a large number of recruits. The Regiment continued its organization and remained in active service until the close of the war, and those not entitled to discharge under the provisions of General Orders of the War Department, Adjutant General's Office, Washington, D. C., (No. 77) 1865 Apr 28, were transferred to the 33rd Regiment, in compliance with Special Orders of the Headquarters, 9th Army Corps, (No. 45) 1865 Jun 15, and were discharged with that regiment. The remainder were mustered out of service near Alexandria, Virginia, 1865 Jun 17, under provisions of special orders from War Department, Adjutant General's Office, Washington, D. C., dated 1865 May 18, by Edward Rose, First Lieutenant 56th Infantry, Massachusetts Volunteers, Assistant Commissary of Musters, Second Division, 9th Army Corps.
