==Order of battle== The battle forces are generally described as in [[#Morrissey|Morrissey]].<ref name="Morrissey22">[[#Morrissey|Morrissey (2000)]], p. 22 (British forces)</ref><ref name="Morrissey25_6">[[#Morrissey|Morrissey (2000)]], pp. 25β26 (American forces)</ref> His numbers are generally consistent with other sources on the British units, although there is disagreement across a wide array of sources on the number of troops under Breymann, which are generally listed at either approximately 550 or 650.<ref name="Pancake136"/><ref name="Nickerson245"/> Morrissey is also incorrect in identifying some of the American units. He identifies William Gregg as having a separate command; Gregg apparently led several companies in Nichols' regiment.<ref name="Griffin226">[[#Griffin|Griffin (1904)]], p. 226</ref> Morrissey also failed to include the Massachusetts militia,<ref name="Niles337">[[#Niles|Niles (1912)]], p. 337</ref> and misidentified Langdon's company, erroneously believing they may have been from [[Worcester, Massachusetts]].<ref name="Morrissey26">[[#Morrissey|Morrissey (2000)]], pp. 26</ref> (Militia companies from the Worcester area marched on Bennington, with some companies arriving the day after the battle.)<ref name="WHS1881_136">[[#WHS1881|Worcester Historic Society (1881)]], p. 136</ref> Langdon originally raised his company in 1776, but it did not become a [[cavalry]] unit until 1778.<ref name="Head333">[[#Head|Head (1866)]], p. 333</ref> {{Col-begin}} {{Col-2}} ===American units=== ;''New Hampshire Militia'' : [[Hobart's Regiment of Militia]] (150) : [[Nichols' Regiment of Militia]] (550) : [[Stickney's Regiment of Militia]] (150) : [[Langdon's Company of Light Horse Volunteers]] (unknown) : Other New Hampshire Militia units (1,000) ;''Vermont Militia'' : [[Herrick's Regiment]] (300) : Other Vermont Militia units (200) ;''Massachusetts Militia'' : [[Simonds' Regiment of Militia]] (unknown) ;''Continental Army'' : [[Green Mountain Boys|Warner's Additional Continental Regiment]] (350) {{Col-break}} ===British units=== ;''Baum's forces'' : [[Brunswick troops in the American Revolutionary War#Units|Prince Ludwig's Dragoon Regiment]] (205) : [[Brunswick troops in the American Revolutionary War#Units|Von Breyman's Grenadier Battalion]] (24) : [[Brunswick troops in the American Revolutionary War#Units|Von Barner's Light Infantry Battalion]] (57) : [[Brunswick troops in the American Revolutionary War#Units|Riedesel's Musketeer Regiment]], [[Brunswick troops in the American Revolutionary War#Units|Specht's Musketeer Regiment]] and [[Brunswick troops in the American Revolutionary War#Units|Von Rhetz's Musketeer Regiment]] (37) : [[Hesse-Hanau troops in the American Revolutionary War#Units|Pausch's Company of Artillery]] (13) : [[List of British units in the American Revolutionary War#Provincial Corps|Queen's Loyal Rangers]] (150+) : [[List of British units in the American Revolutionary War#Infantry|Company of Select Marksmen]] (48) : [[Loyalist (American Revolution)|Loyalist]] irregulars (150+) : [[French Canadians|Canadian]] irregulars (56) : [[Iroquois]] warriors (100+) ;''Breymann's forces'' : Von Breyman's Grenadier Battalion (353) : Von Barner's Light Infantry Battalion (277) : Pausch's Company of Artillery (20) {{Col-end}}
