On July 17, 1812, during the War of 1812, Roberts and his men defeated Captain Porter Hanks [13] and the 61 men of the 1st American Artillery Regiment [14] during the siege of Fort Mackinac [15] [16] and then occupied Fort Mackinac [17] located near present-day Mackinaw City, Michigan.
The regiment participated in the War of 1812, the Mexican–American War, the American Civil War, the Indian Wars (1823–1879), the Spanish–American War, Philippine–American War (1899–1913), the Pancho Villa Expedition (1916–1917), World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War.
