Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Voltigeurs (lit. Vaulters) were French military skirmish units created in 1804 by Emperor Napoleon I. They formed an integral part of La Grande Armee''s basic building blocks, the Line and Light infantry battalions.In 1804, each French Line (Ligne) and Light (Légère) infantry battalion was ordered to create one company of 90 men who would serve as light infantry. This company would frequently be detached from the battalion to perform light infantry tasks - operating in loose formation, forming the skirmish line and screening the battalion from the enemy. Theoretically, the voltigeurs were more capable of sharpshooting, having received specific training in marksmanship. In practice, the quality of the French voltigeurs declined as the Napoleonic wars progressed, and after the 1812 Russian Campaign the voltigeurs were virtually indistinguishable from their ''non elite'' compatriots in the fusilier or chasseur companies in both quality and role.
