After the war's end in 1815, the U.S. Army consolidated its Regular infantry regiments from 44 to 8 (later 7). The 4th joined the 9th, 13th, 21st, 40th, and 46th to form the 5th Infantry, adding the York Expedition and the Battle of Sackets Harbor to the unit history and the battle honors for Chippewa and Lundy's Lane.

The 5th totalled 476 men in May, 1862, lost 6 killed, 62 wounded, and 19 missing at Corinth, had 4 killed, 49 wounded, and 37 missing at Champion's Hill, and lost 20 killed and 52 wounded during the Vicksburg siege. In the Atlanta Campaign, May 18 to September 5, the 3rd/5th reported 128 casualties and 68 at Allatoona.

Welcome Two Centuries of Valor. is the first fully comprehensive historical account of the 5th United States Infantry Regiment. It chronicles one hundred ninety-nine years of active service of the regiment as it fought in most of its nation's wars from the War of 1812 to the War on Terror, and during its many years of peacetime service from the Minnesota wilderness to the Sinai Peninsula.
