In which order were they and how did they work? (Regiments,Battalions, companies etc.)
I need this for a history project. I think im doing fine now, I got a A+ on my 1800's warfare
Company
Battalion
Regiment
Brigade
Division
Corps
Army
(It's not very detailed and there are some groups under company)
Now, how big every one is differs from country and from time: A british battalion consisted of 10 companies; A French one consisted of nine in 1806, but of just six from about 1809.
And offcourse due to battle and deceases, formations were practically never up to full strength.
Sorry also in the UK they used platoons which is 1/2 companies. (Just in-case you were interested or wanted to add it) Not sure on other countries though.
