light artillery. He was promoted a first lieutenant in the Third artillery, and in 1824 was transferred to the Fourth. From 1828 to 1836 he served as aid-de-camp to General Macomb, then commanding the American army, and was promoted to rank as captain 11th June of that year. Upon the 7th July, 1838, he first entered the War Department as an assistant adjutant-general.

In 1848 he was brevetted colonel for meritorious conduct in the prosecution of his duties in connection with the Mexican war, and on the 15th July, 1852, was appointed the Adjutant-General of the United States army, General Winfield Scott being then its Commander-in-Chief. Whilst in the United States army, he compiled his work entitled Tactics for the militia, a book atone time in almost universal use among the volunteer soldiery, and extensively known as Cooper's Tactics.
