As Congress directed the corps would be composed of 150 privates, sergeants and corporals included and that it be divided as follows: "divided into three companies, the first to consist of 60 men, light infantry, to be commanded by one captain and two lieutenants. The other two companies of hunters (Riflemen), 45 men each, also commanded by one captain, two lieutenants." The corps saw action at the Battle of Germantown and Battle of Brandywine. In April 1778 the Corps was broken up, one company was transferred to Armand's Legion and the others became independent companies of dragoons. External links
