This unit served in the Army of the Ohio and Army of the Cumberland in the Western Theater of the Civil War and saw service in Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Henry was commissioned as a Jr 2nd Lt on 6 Sep 1861, a Jr 1st Lt on 19 Aug 1862, and Sr 1st Lt on 8 Mar 1864.

On September 20, 1863 at Chickamauga, the 3rd Wisconsin Battery was in the path of Longstreet's assault, losing 5 guns and taking 26 casualties.
