The Army of New Mexico, also known as the Sibley Brigade, was a small Confederate field army in the American Civil War. It operated in Confederate Arizona and New Mexico Territory during the New Mexico Campaign in late 1861 and early 1862, before it was transferred to Louisiana. At first the force was tasked with securing Confederate Arizona's forts, most of which were still in Union hands. John R. Baylor had already established the Confederate Territory of Arizona after the First Battle of Mesilla in 1861. Now the goal was to capture the remaining U.S. held forts in Confederate Arizona and to invade New Mexico Territory. The army also hoped to capture the mines of Colorado and California, to secure gold and silver supplies to finance the Confederate war effort. Ultimately, the Confederate

- L'armée du Nouveau-Mexique est une petite armée confédérée de la guerre de Sécession. Elle opère dans l'Arizona confédéré et le territoire du Nouveau-Mexique au cours de la campagne du Nouveau-Mexique à la fin de 1861, et au début de 1862, avant d'être transférée en Louisiane. Au début, la force est chargée de la sécurisation des forts de l'Arizona confédéré, dont la plupart sont encore aux mains de l'Union. John R. Baylor a déjà établi le territoire de l'Arizona confédéré après la première bataille de Mesilla en 1861. Maintenant, le but est de capturer le reste des forts tenus par les États-Unis dans l'Arizona confédéré et d'envahir le territoire du Nouveau-Mexique. L'armée espère également capturer les mines du Colorado et de Californie, afin de sécuriser l'approvisionnement en or et arg (fr)
