The 1st through 4th Regiments of Artillery (in their 1861-era iterations) were in continuous service from 1821 onward, with additional companies (K, L/M, and N/O) added in 1838, 1847, and 1899 respectively. Additionally, the 6th and 7th Regiments were organized in 1899. The 5th Regiment was the only Civil War-era Federal artillery regiment that was actually organized in 1861; all existing Federal artillery regiments continued in service through February 1901, when the regimental model was abolished and the units were re-designated as coast artillery companies or field artillery batteries.

The regular artillery companies were typically "unmounted" in peacetime and served as fortress garrisons or heavy/siege artillery units during the war.

Furthermore, there was no such designation as the "U.S. Light
Artillery" during the time of the Civil War. The Light Artillery was abolished in 1821. The 5th Regiment, like the four others at the time, consisted of artillery companies with standard letter designations. The only possible
