The 146th New York Infantry Regiment was organized at Rome, New York, as a three year regiment and mustered into Federal service on 10 October 1862. It's nicknames were the "5th Oneida" and "Halleck Infantry". The one that stuck was "Garrard's Tigers". The next day, 11 October 1862, the regiment left the state for the Defenses of Washington being assigned to Casey's Division to November 1862 when it was re-assigned and began its service life with the 5th Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac.
The 146th New York Infantry Regiment joined the Army of the Potomac on 2 November 1862 at Snicker's Gap, Virginia. The regiment was clad in standard Union army issue dark blue frock coat and sky blue trousers. It would not be re-uniformed in Tirailleur light blue until June, 1863. So, it looked and acted like any untested regiment. It participated in the Rappahannock Campaign from November 1862 to June 1863 gaining experience in these engagements: Fredericksburg 12-15 December 1862, the "Mud March" 20-24 January 1863, and Chancellorsville 27 April to 6 May 1863.. In June 1863, the 146th was selected to be outfitted in Zouave-style uniforms choosing the colors of the French Armée d'Afrique Tirailleurs Algeriens regiments of light blue with yellow trim.
On the second day of the battle of Gettysburg, Garrard's Tigers arrived on the field on the left flank of the Army of the Potomac in the vicinity of the Round Tops. As each brigade was committed to this or that part of the battle, it came the turn of the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Division. In addition to the 146th New York "Garrard's Tigers", the brigade consisted of the 140th New York, 91st Pennsylvania, and 155th Pennsylvania. The 140th New York and 155th Pennsylvania would eventually be honored for their service and receive the right to wear Zouave uniforms, the 140th in early 1864 and the 155th in late 1863. The 91st Pennsylvania was transferred out of the brigade in March of 1864. Thus, the brigade became known as "the Zouave brigade". For the remainder of 1863, the Army of the Potomac would exchange tactical movements with General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and no significant actions occurred for the remainder of the year.
In early 1864, General U. S. Grant became the overall field commander of the Union army and the beginning of his offensive strategy for all theaters of war would be launched in the Spring. General Meade still commanded the Army of the Potomac but Grant chose to accompany it. For Garrard's Tigers, the campaign in the East began on 3 May 1864 in the Wilderness and would end on 15 June 1864 in front of the lines of Richmond and Petersburg. At those places began a significantly large siege operation that would conclude with the break-through at Five Forks in April 1865 and end the war in the East at Appomattox Court House on 9 April 1865.
The regiment lost during service 7 officers and 126 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded and 2 officers and 179 enlisted men by disease for a total wartime loss of 314 men.
