The regiment was involved in operations against the Sioux near Fort Randall in May and June, 1863. Following duty at Fort Pierre, the regiment aided in Sully's Expedition against hostile Sioux Indians from August-September, 1863. Over the following year, the 6th Iowa saw action at Stone Hill, served duty at Fort Sully, Fort Randall, and Sioux City, then again participated in Sully's Expedition against the hostile Sioux from June to October, 1864. Additional actions included an expedition from Fort Rice, Dakota Territory, to relieve Captain Fisk’s emigrant train under siege while traveling to Idaho Territory in September, 1864.
