In early 1866 Major General Custer was mustered out of the U.S. Volunteers and reverted to his regular army rank of captain. When Congress expanded the regular army in 1866, however, Custer received a higher grade in one of the new cavalry regiments, the 7th. For ten years, while the regiments colonel remained on detached service, Lieutenant Colonel Custer commanded the 7th Cavalry.
