The Army of the Moselle (''Armée de la Moselle'') was a French Revolutionary Army from 1791 through 1795. It was first known as the ''Army of the Centre'' and it fought at Valmy. In October 1792 it was renamed and subsequently fought at Trier, First Arlon, Biesingen, Kaiserslautern, Froeschwiller and Second Wissembourg. In the spring of 1794 the left wing was detached and fought at Second Arlon, Lambusart and Fleurus before being absorbed by the ''Army of Sambre-et-Meuse''. In late 1794, the army captured Trier and initiated the Siege of Luxembourg. During the siege, the army was discontinued and its divisions were assigned to other armies. ==History== Originally known as the ''Army of the Centre'', it was renamed by decree of the National Convention on 1 October 1792 and kept under that name in the decrees of 1 March and 30 April 1793. By the decree of 29 June 1794 its left wing joined with the ''Army of the Ardennes'' and the right wing of the ''Army of the North'' to form the ''Army of Sambre-et-Meuse''. The right wing remained under the orders of Jean René Moreaux as the ''Army of the Moselle''. However, this new army's right wing was joined with the left wing of the ''Army of the Rhine'' by a decree of 29 November 1794 under the name of the ''Armée devant Mayence'' (''Army before Mainz''), while the rest of the army was named the ''Army before Luxembourg'' under Moreaux. Finally what remained of the ''Army of the Moselle'' was merged with the ''Army of the Rhine'' by a decree of 3 March 1795 (executed on 20 April) to form the ''Army of the Rhine and Moselle''. ==Generals== * 14 December 1791 – 11 July 1792: Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette * 12 July – 1 September 1792: Nicolas Luckner, with supreme command of the Army of the Rhine * 2 September – 1 October 1792: François Christophe Kellermann, subordinate – Charles François Dumouriez until 19 September. * 1 October – 7 November 1792: François Christophe Kellermann, commander of the new ''Army of the Moselle'', subordinate – Charles François Dumouriez until October 5. * 8–14 November 1792: interim – Jean Étienne Philibert de Prez de Crassier * 15 November 1792 – 23 January 1793: Pierre Riel de Beurnonville, subordinate of Adam Philippe Custine * 24 January – 28 March 1793: René Charles Élisabeth de Ligniville, subordinate of Adam Philippe Custine * 29 March – 28 April 1793: Augustin Gabriel d'Aboville * 29 April - 2 August 1793: Jean Nicolas Houchard, subordinate – Adam Philippe Custine until May 17, then moved to the high command of the Army of the Rhine * 3 August - 29 September 1793: interim – Balthazar Alexis Henri Schauenburg * 30 September 1793: Jean René Moreaux rejects command * 30 September - 30 October 1793: interim – Jacques Charles René Delaunay * 31 October 1793 - 18 March 1794: Lazare Hoche with high command of the Army of the Rhine until January 13 * 19 March - 2 June 1794: Jean-Baptiste Jourdan * 3 June - 1 July 1794: Jean-Baptiste Jourdan commanded the armies of the Moselle, Ardennes and the right of the Army of the North, with Jean-Charles Pichegru * 2 July 1794 - 7 July 1794: Jean René Moreaux * 7 July - 3 August 1794: interim – Claude Ignace François Michaud * 3 August 1794 - 9 February 1795 – Jean René Moreaux * 10 February - 19 April 1795, intérim – Jean-Jacques Ambert. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Army of the Moselle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
