The Monte Settepani order of battle is a detailed list of the Austrian and French forces that fought in the Battle of Monte Settepani from 24 June to 7 July 1795. The combined forces of Habsburg Austria and the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont attacked the Republican French army and compelled it to retreat to a more defensible position. There are no sources for a Sardinian order of battle for 1795, so only the Austrian and French armies are listed.

Notes[edit]

Footnotes
  1. ^ The list did not specify which of the Karlstadter Grenz regiments this was.
  2. ^ In January 1796, the Auxiliary Corps was led by GM Giovanni Marchese di Provera, but at Monte Settepani it was led by Argenteau.
  3. ^ This was sometimes known as the Caprara Regiment (Pivka, p. 84).
  4. ^ It was not specified whether this was 1st Garrison Regiment Nr. 5 or 2nd Garrison Regiment Nr. 6 (Pivka, p. 82).
  5. ^ Nafziger's list says "2/56th". Since the 2nd Battalion is already included in the 56th Line Demi-Brigade, it seems reasonable to conclude it is a typographical error for the missing "2/46th" in Miollis' brigade.
