Army of Galicia
The Army of Galicia (in Spanish, Ejército de Galicia) was a Spanish military unit that took part in the Peninsular War against Napoleon’s French Grande Armée.
Created by the Supreme Junta towards the end of June 1808〔 Blake, Joaquín (1858) (''Apuntes históricos sobre las operaciones del ejército de...'' ) Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte. Retrieved 6 August 2013.〕 to hold the Spanish left wing along the Cantabrian mountains against Napoleon's forces, it had a paper force of 43,000 regulars. Command was first given to General Blake, and then, in November 1808, to General La Romana.

(詳細はGregorio García de la Cuesta’s small and inexperienced Army of Castile at the Battle of Cabezón, which had forced Cuesta to abandon his seat of command at Valladolid to General Lasalle and escape to Benavente, Blake was ordered to combine the troops of his newly formed army with what was left of Cuesta’s forces. Blake had initially turned down a request to do so as the troops were still undergoing training and far short of their full numbers. Setting off with 27,000 foot soldiers and 150 cavalrymen, and after having left troops at different garrisons along the way, especially to guard the gorges,〔Thiers, Adolphe (1812) (''Historical Works, Volume 3'', p. 171. A. Fullarton ) At Google Books. Retrieved 25 August 2013.〕 by the time Blake met up with Cuesta at Benavente, their combined forces totalled 22,000 men.〔 De Toreno, Conde (1839) (''Historia del levantamiento, Guerra y revolución de España'', pp. 196–7 ) At Google Books. Retrieved 6 August 2013.〕
Moreover, imposing his seniority against the younger Blake's objections, Cuesta claimed supreme command and insisted on a foolhardy march on Valladolid to reclaim his lost city.〔 Setting his columns marching on July 12, he laid his new, combined force vulnerable to a French counterattack. Paralyzed by disunity of command, the Spanish troops were defeated on 14 July at the Battle of Medina del Rio Seco,〔Gates, David (2011) (''The Napoleonic Wars 1803-1815''. Random House ) At Google Books. Retrieved 6 August 2013.〕 mainly due to Cuesta having failed to close the gap between his troops and Blake's.
