The brigade to which the 30th Georgia belonged suffered some losses through capture during the Battle of Missionary Ridge, but took little part in the fighting. Afterwards, they retired with Bragg's army to Dalton, Georgia, for winter quarters. On May 14, 1864, the regiment took some fire at the Oostanaula River, but did not take part in the Battle of Resaca. The 30th Georgia participated in fighting near Calhoun, Georgia, on May 16, just prior to the Battle of Adairsville, sustaining considerable losses.
