Originally about 25,000 men, the size of the Princes' Army fluctuated with casualties and available funds. By the end of 1792, the force had shrunk to 5,000 men. After recruiting in 1796, in Mainz, Mannheim, and the Swiss cantons, it could call on 10,000 men, under the pay of Britain.

Structure

The composition of the army varied: the regiments of Mirabeau, Rohan and Salms, for example, were almost independent corps.
