On the 10th of August 1861, Confederate Captain Thomas B. Bush was sent home from Virginia to Jacksonville, AL, to recruit and organize a new company. This company became Co. "B" (Calhoun Sharpshooters; a.k.a., Bush Sharpshooters) of the Fifth Alabama Battalion. This company also traveled by rail to Virginia.

The two units listed above were combined with a third company, The Whites Plains Rangers (Co. "C") from Calhoun County, AL, near Dumfries, VA on December 2nd, 1861 and were designated the "Eighth Infantry Battalion"

On February 8th, 1862, a fourth company (Co. "D") was added, The Daniel Boone Rifles from Mobile County, AL (formerly Co. K, First Confederate [Tennessee] Infantry Regiment, Provisional Army). This company was disbanded on May 22nd, 1863 and its members were transferred to the other three companies of the battalion.

Two more companies were temporarily attached in April and May, 1862 to the Fifth Alabama Battalion, Co. "E" a Florida unit and Co. "F" an artillery unit. On June 10th, 1862 these companies were transferred and became Co. "L" and "M" of the Fifty-fifth Virginia Infantry Regiment, respectively.

The official date of the re-designation of the Eighth Infantry Battalion to the Fifth Alabama Infantry Battalion, occurred October 22nd, 1862. However, the first reference to the Fifth Alabama Battalion appears much earlier in the Official Records on January 14th, 1862 as a part of Wigfall's Brigade, "Forces Near Dumfries", Brig. General W. H. C. Whiting commanding.
