Brigade to join with General James Longstreet at Knoxville, TN to engage the Federal forces of General Burnside's Army of East Tennessee. The East Tennessee compaign lasted 22 days. The 37th VA Cav rode day and night, foraging for food without unsaddling their horses during this campaign. One man froze to death in his saddle.

They were used as recconnaissance units for field commanders to determine enemy location, strength, vulnerability and movement.
