In November 1776 Gilman was appointed adjutant of the Third New Hampshire Regiment. In this position, he played a critical role in rebuilding the regiment.  In the spring of 1777, the 3d New Hampshire engaged the British army under the command of [[General John Burgoyne]] at [[Fort Ticonderoga]].  Burgoyne's forces were victorious, and the defending garrison was forced to retreat.  Later that summer, Gilman's unit participated in two battles at Freeman's Farm, beating the British so soundly that Burgoyne was forced to surrender his entire army.  Gilman's administrative skills eventually earned him a position as Colonel Scammell's assistant and a promotion to Captain when the Colonel was promoted to Adjutant General of the Continental Army.<ref name=mil />
