Historical Question-Staff Officers and ADC's

When not sure, go to the experts, so here I am.

Does anyone know or can point me to the data of the number of staff Officers and ADC’s attached to various Napoleonic Brigades/Divisions and Corps.

I do have the Information of Napoleons HQ but it is the lower echelons particularly the Brigades and Divisions I’m most interested in.

Although I do not study the ACW very much I would also be interested to compare the difference between the two types of HQ’s.


Thank you in anticipation and may all the team and players have a great Christmas with their families and a great New Year.

These numbers are from Muir's book; Tactics and the Experience of Battle in the Age of Napoleon, p.158.
In 1809 Nappy's personal staff was about 20 officers. Berthier's staff had several hundred. A French corps commander had 20-36 staff officers. A division commander had 10-12. A lowly brigade commander might have 1 or 2 if any.

I remember reading that Lee's entire staff was smaller than that of a French division. Is it any wonder why he could not coordinate his attacks at Gettysburg?

Thank you Gentlemen.
