Le massacre des Hungate et l'exposition à Denver de victimes mutilées augmenta la pression politique sur le gouvernement et le poussa à protéger son peuple. Le gouverneur John Evans demanda et obtint l'autorisation du Département de la Guerre de Washington pour créer le 3e régiment de cavalerie. Plus milice qu'unité militaire, le « Bloodless Third » était composé de « 100 jours », c’est-à-dire de volontaires qui s'engageaient pendant 100 jours pour combattre les Amérindiens. Son surnom vient de son manque d'expérience au combat. Le seul commandant de l'unité fut le colonel George L. Shoup, un politicien du Colorado. Le régiment fut affecté au district du Colorado commandé par le colonel John M. Chivington.
