It is composed of the Department of the Eastern Frontier's 4th and 5th Divisions, which were involved in the "Battle" of Crooked Creek on May 27th (WIA2). Not to be confused with the Crooked Creek running through Yellville in the Ozarks, the battle took place at another Crooked Creek to the southeast and was little more than a stand off across the muddy, swamp-like banks of Tar Bottom Run.
The 4th and 5th Division were in defenses at Washington (Arkansas) at the beginning of the WIA3 campaign, but were sent north on July 2nd and were not involved in the fighting and maneuvering at the Battles of Midway and Crane. The two divisions have been joined by the Department of the Eastern Frontier's cavalry, with the brigades that have seen extensive service in the previous campaigns, as well as a new (4th) brigade composed of three green regiments. Brig. Gen. Randall, erroneously reported as killed during WIA3, is still in command of the 2nd Brigade. Martin's 3rd Brigade, which joined the army in the midst of WIA2, continues to be one of the toughest brigades in either army, with the 32nd and 34th Arkansas cavalry both at veteran level experience while still having over 400 men in their ranks.
