The 40th participates in several major events each year in which the entire membership is urged to attend, and several regional events. These events are decided upon by the Board of Directors and announced each winter in the unit newsletter. Several members of the 40th also belong to other reenactment groups and attend other events during the year with those groups. However it is incumbent upon members to participate with the 40th if they are attending a major event that the unit is officially attending. There are many smaller events each year that members of the 40th participate in, however attendance is not officially stressed. All members are obligated to attend two events per year. As a general rule the 40th avoids parades and small historical society encampments where there is no opportunity to demonstrate light infantry tactics.
