While a Connecticut resident, Enos had served with colonial troops, rising to rank of Colonel of the Second Connecticut Regiment. He commanded the rear guard under Benedict Arnold in the 1775 expedition to Quebec. Enos turned back with his troops, most of whom were ill, and was accused of cowardice and desertion, but eventually acquitted. Leaving Continental service, he moved to Vermont, where he was considered second to none in military matters, and he was placed in command of all Vermont forces.

The northwestern Vermont town of Enosburgh is named for him.
