==Order of battle== ===French=== [[File:Jean_Victor_Marie_Moreau_(1792).jpg|thumbnail|Jean Victor Moreau commanded the French Army of the Rhine.]] Sources are unclear which forces were present. Certainly, it was approximately 40,000 troops, and possibly 60,000, well above the 10,000–30,000 total Austrian and Württemberg numbers. Contemporary accounts place the 94th Demi-brigade at the center of action in Gremheim, a village between [[Höchstadt|Höchstädt]] and [[Donauwörth]], about half a mile (800m) from [[Blindheim]].<ref>History, p. 183.</ref> This suggests the presence of General Claude Jacques Lecourbe's Corps, including the forces of generals [[Anne Gilbert de Laval|Laval]], [[Gabriel Jean Joseph Molitor|Molitor]], [[Henri-Antoine Jardon|Jardon]], and [[Dominique Vandamme|VanDamme]].<ref>Smith, p. 177.</ref> This is also confirmed in an extract of Moreau's dispatch to the [[French Minister of War]], published in the ''[[London Chronicle]]'', 10 June 1800. "The 6th [[Chasseur|chasseurs]], 13th cavalry, 4th [[Hussar|hussars]] and 11th chasseurs distinguished themselves in this affair. The rest of the division, and that of LeClere, passed rapidly the Danube... General Grenier was equally well prepared."<ref>"Extract of a letter from Gen. Moreau to the Minister of War, Neresheim, June 20." ''The London Chronicle'' vol. 87., Found in Willem Lodewyk, Van-Es, ''The Life of Napoleon Buonaparte ...: With a Concise History of the Events'' W. Day, 1810 – France, pp. 31–35.{{primary source inline|date=June 2022}}</ref>{{primary source inline|date=June 2022}} In his ''Art of War'', Baron [[Antoine-Henri Jomini]] also refers to General [[François Louis Dedon-Duclos|Dedon-Duclos]] as having a key role in the French success at Höchstädt.<ref>Baron [[Antoine-Henri Jomini]], ''The Art of War'', Wilder Publications, 2008, p. 173. Originally published in English in 1862.</ref> ===Austrian=== The Allied force included approximately 20,000 Habsburg regulars and [[Württemberg|Württemberg's]] contingent of troops raised for the war:<ref name="Smith, 178">Smith, 178.</ref> *FZM Count [[Anton Sztáray]], commanding ** FML von [[Ferdinand August Freiherr von Hügel]]'s Württemberg Contingent, including ***General Beulwitz, Infantry Regiment Beulwitz, Seckendorf and Seeger (1 battalion each) ***Füss-Jägers (three companies); ***[[Garde du Corps]] (1 squadron) ***3 squadrons of light horse ***Contingent regiments commanded by von Zobel, von Mylius, and von Oberniz (1 battalion each) ***20 guns **Austrian regulars ***Royal Regiment Albert, Number 3 (6 squadrons) ***Hohenzollern Number 8 (6 squadrons) ***[[Hussar]] Regiment Vécsey Number 4 (8 squadron) ***[[Blankenstein]] Number 6 (8 squadron) Total Austrian-Württemberg force: 20,000 men.<ref name="Smith, 178"/>
