[5] In 1790, part of the troops of the Guadeloupe Regiment, led by Dugommier, participated in three expeditions in support of the revolutionaries of Martinique, but failed to overthrow the governor and the colonial assembly.

[5] Dugommier left Guadeloupe definitively in July 1791, in order to represent the interests of the revolutionaries of the colonies in Paris, as a deputy to the National Convention.

[2] Having shown himself a true republican in the National Convention, Dugommier was made a maréchal de camp (brigade general) of the French Revolutionary Army on 10 October 1792, though he initially had no assignment.

[1] In September 1793, Dugommier drove the troops of the Habsburg monarchy and the Kingdom of Sardinia from the County of Nice, and defeated Joseph De Vins' Austrians at the Battle of Gilette [fr] on 19 October.

He reorganized the army, weakened as it was by the hard combat of the preceding year spent incessantly and fruitlessly storming the Spanish positions.

The Spanish became paralyzed by a leadership crisis following the successive deaths of Carrillo and his replacement, Alejandro O'Reilly, to disease, making Dugommier's task easier.

[1] On 22 September, an audacious attack gave Dugommier the redoubt and camp of Coustouges, putting the Spanish army to flight and capturing most of its equipment.

Dugommier was buried under a liberty tree in the Fort de Bellegarde on 19 November,[1] and later reburied in Perpignan, where he rests in a pyramidal monument.
