In 1861 Bennett enlisted as a Corporal in Co. E of the 36th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment a three-year unit known as the Fox River Regiment. Military authorities took advantage of his skills assigning him to engineering duties at Rolla and St. Louis Missouri throughout late 1861 and early 1862. His detached duty which included map-making and work on fortifications ended in time for Bennett to join his regiment for the Battle of Pea Ridge Arkansas on March 7 1862. He was permanently detached from the 36th Illinois after the battle to serve on the engineering staff of Brigadier General Samuel Ryan Curtis. He sketched the Pea Ridge battlefield and was the cartographer of the Army of the Southwest as it marched across Missouri to Helena Arkansas. In 1863 Bennett took a commission as major of the 4th Arkansas Volunteer Cavalry Regiment United States which he helped raise and organize. He resigned and was honorably discharged in August 1864. As a civilian Bennett again joined the engineering department of General Samuel Curtis then commanding the Department of Kansas. He mapped the 1864 battlefields of Price's Raid and was sent to inspect the army's installations along the stage line to Denver Colorado.
