British Memoirs of the Napoleonic Wars: Corps Attached to the Army HeadquartersBy Robert BurnhamIn the army headquarters there were staffs and corps for different organizations that supported army operations, but were not never permanently assigned to a division. These included the Royal Engineers, Royal Artillery, Royal Horse Artillery, Royal Staff Corps, and the Staff Corps Regiment of Cavalry. The subordinate elements would be temporarily assigned to the divisions, based on operations. For example an Royal Engineer officer could be assigned to a division to oversee the destruction of bridges. Buckham, E.
