Isaac began his military service as a Private in G Co. of the 1st Maine Infantry Regiment, which was organized for 3 months of active service 28 April 1861. During those 3 months, the 779 men of the 1st mainly performed guard duty around Washington, DC. The unit was noted for its fine discipline and was regarded as a model regiment. The men of the 1st Maine were mustered out 5 August 1861.
Isaac's service with the 1st Maine stood him in good stead, because he then enlisted as a Sergeant in G Co., 14th Maine Infantry Regiment, on 12 December 1861. He was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant in 1862, then to 1st Lieutenant in 1863, and to Captain in 1864. He was wounded 19 September 1864 during the battle of Winchester, Virginia. During that same battle, the unit lost 60 killed, wounded or taken prisoner (about 1/3 of their strength). He and the members of the 14th Maine who had not re-enlisted were mustered out 13 January 1865.
While Isaac, Emma and family lived in Iowa, he operated a farm.

The 14th Maine was organized at Augusta in December 1861, to serve for 3 years. They left Maine 5 February 1862 and sailed, first to Boston, and then directly to Ship Island, Mississippi, arriving there 8 March. They remained in the Deep South until 13 July 1864, during which time they took part in battles at Baton Rouge, St. Charles Court House and Port Hudson, Louisiana. In January, 1864, all but 40 of the available men of the regiment (Isaac among them) re-enlisted for 3 more years and were granted a 30-day furlough back in Maine. They rejoined the regiment at New Orleans 19 May, 1864, and soon left for Virginia. There, they took part in the battles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek. The soldiers who had re-enlisted, and recruits whose terms of service were not yet expired, were organized into 4 companies (A,B,C and D), then were joined by men from the Unassigned Infantry, bringing the 14th Maine up to full regimental strength again. They were engaged in doing guard and patrol duty in Georgia until 28 August, 1865, when they returned to Maine and were discharged 28 September 1865.
