===French Army=== [[File:Claude-Victor Perrin.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.7|alt=Black-and-white print labeled Victor shows a wavy-haired man with a small mouth. He wears a French military uniform of the Napoleonic era with elaborate braid on the front and high collar.|Claude Victor-Perrin]] In MacDonald's ''Army of Naples'' [[Chef de brigade]] Victor Léopold Berthier served as [[chief of staff]], [[Chef de bataillon]] Jacques Bardenet as chief of artillery and [[Jean-Louis Dubreton]] as commissary officer. In the 8 June order of battle that follows, the figures in parentheses are unit strengths. The Advanced Guard was led by [[General of Brigade]] [[Jean-Baptiste Salme]] and included the 11th Line (1,390), 12th Line (1,250) and 15th Light (1,340) Infantry Demi-Brigades, a detachment of the 25th [[Chasseurs à Cheval]] Regiment (85), the 6th Company of the 8th Foot Artillery Regiment (34) and the 3rd Company of the 1st Sapper Battalion (29). The 1st Division was commanded by [[General of Division]] Olivier and consisted of the 30th Line (1,508) and 73rd Line (2,009) Infantry Demi-Brigades, 7th Chasseurs à Cheval (321) and 19th Chasseurs à Cheval (314) Regiments and gunners and sappers (311). The 2nd Division was directed by General of Division Rusca and comprised the 17th Light (1,880), 55th Line (886) and 97th Line (1,760) Infantry Demi-Brigades, 16th Dragoon (488) and 19th Dragoon (330) Regiments and artillerists and sappers (116).<ref name=Nafziger>{{cite book |author=Nafziger, George |author-link=George Nafziger |title=French Army of Naples, 8 June 1799 |publisher=United States Army Combined Arms Center |url=http://www.cgsc.edu/CARL/nafziger/799FAS.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100615055139/http://www.cgsc.edu/CARL/nafziger/799FAS.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=2010-06-15 }}</ref> [[File:Jan Henryk Dąbrowski 1.PNG|thumb|left|upright=0.6|alt=Painting shows a chubby man with his right hand thrust into his coat and his left hand on his sword hilt. He wears a dark blue military uniform with red cuffs and red breeches and silver frogging.|Jean Dombrowski]] The 3rd Division was supervised by General of Division Montrichard and was made up of the 3rd (or 2nd) Line (730), 21st Line (1,000), 68th Line (900) and 5th Light (1,900) Infantry Demi-Brigades, 1st Cavalry (263), 12th Dragoon (400), 11th Hussar (250), Cisalpine Dragoon (100) and Cisalpine Hussar (308) Regiments and gunners and sappers (112). The 4th Division was commanded by General of Division Watrin and consisted of the 62nd Line (3,420) and 78th Light (2,120) Infantry Demi-Brigade, 25th Chasseurs à Cheval Regiment (260) and artillerists (33). The 5th Division was directed by General of Division Dombrowski and comprised the 1st Polish Legion (2,000), 8th Light Infantry Demi-Brigade (893) and Polish Cavalry (500).<ref name=Nafziger/> The remaining infantry division was led by General of Division Victor and included the 5th Line (1,300), 39th Line (1,225), 92nd Line (1,240), 93rd Line (1,265) and 99th Line (1,320) Infantry Demi-Brigades and 15th Chasseurs à Cheval Regiment (400). There were also 526 men assigned to the artillery park. A second authority placed the 12th Line in Olivier's division rather than Salme's Advanced Guard, specified that the 17th in Rusca's division was Light Infantry, put the 2nd Line instead of the 3rd Line in Montrichard's division and listed different unit totals in some divisions. This second source gave the following division strengths for the end of May: Salme 2,997, Olivier 5,826, Rusca 5,397, Montrichard 5,773, Watrin 4,880, Dombrowski 3,555 and Victor 6,750. This yielded a strength of 30,980 infantry, 3,616 cavalry and 1,088 artillerymen and sappers for a 35,684 grand total. From this, losses from the Battle of Modena and other causes must be deducted.<ref name=Duffy96/>
