Hoffman held a variety of positions during the war, including Aide-de-camp to Governor Edwin D. Morgan, Inspector of New York troops at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, in 1861, and Assistant Adjutant General, United States Volunteers, in 1862, before being assigned to Brigadier General Thomas Williams' staff in the expedition at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He continued his military career by serving as Assistant Adjutant General on General William T. Sherman's staff from 1862 to 1863, and he accompanied Major General W. B. Franklin during the Red River Campaign in 1863. He continued to serve until 1865.
