After all tribes were ordered to report to Fort Cobb or be considered hostile, General Philip Sheridan set plans in motion for the winter campaign of 1868–69 against the hostiles in western Oklahoma and the Staked Plains.

Afterwards, most of the Comanches and other tribes still on the plains returned to the agencies.
