The Tenth Mississippi Regiment of Volunteers was made up of the first troops of the organized militia of the State leaving Mississippi for service in the Confederate States Army, to fill the first requisition of Governor J. J. Pettus, for fifteen hundred infantry, to serve twelve months at Pensacola, Florida; and together with the Ninth Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which after arrival from Mississippi Went into camps at Pensacola Bay Lighthouse, and was organized and mustered into the Confederate States Service by order of Gen. Bragg on the 13th day of April 1861, composing a part of the Pensacola Troops, occupying the City of Pensacola, Warrenton, U. S. Navy Yard, Barracks and Forts Barrancas and McRae—a federal force being in possession of Fort Pickens, situated on Santa Rosa Island, on the opposite side of Pensacola Bay, commanding entrance by channel to Bay and Pensacola.
The Ninth and Tenth Mississippi Regiments were encamped together between Fort Barrancas and McRae, and after organization were formed into a Mississippi Brigade, numbering two thousand men, Colonel James R. Chalmers, Commanding, and plced in Gen. Ruggle’s Division.
After eleven month’s service, time about expiring, Gen. Bragg issued a circular requesting his army to re-enlist for three years or the war, the men to receive 30 day furloughs with privilege of forming new companies.  A large majority of the Tenth Regiment re-enlisted and left Pensacola for their homes during January.  After recruiting all new companies to their full number, they received orders to rendevouz and report at Corinth, Miss.  Those failing to re-enlist were discharged at expiration of service, returning home, and joining other commands.
During the month of February 1862 Pensacola was evacuated, and the Grand Old Army of Pensacola was ordered to Corinth, Miss., where Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston and Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard were organizing the Army of Mississippi.
