Bonjour,
ci joint le decret de l'organisation de l'armee en 1812
pour les milices, il y a d'autres textes de même que pour la marine et l'artillerie.
cela est bien sur theorique mais cependant officiel.
cela permet quand même d'avoir une idée de l'organisation de l'armée reguliere et ce a quoi elle devait ressembler theoriquement.
