In mid-December 1938 in Fatarella the battalion was loaded onto trains and in early January 1939 it was deployed back in southern Extremadura, this time engaged in defensive operations against the last Republican offensive of the war. During the counter-offensive the unit captured Valsequillo before early February it was transported by train to Navalmoral. It was then transferred to Chozas de Canales (Toledo) and in late March moved by trucks to Albarreal de Tajo, advancing with virtually no resistance. The Terç ended the war in Menasalbas.
