Battle of Monmouth order of battle

Washington sent 6,400 troops commanded by Major General Charles Lee to attack the British column of march near Monmouth Court House, New Jersey.

Washington brought up 7,000 men to support Lee's withdrawing wing and held his ground against repeated British assaults.

That evening Clinton retreated from the field and continued his march to Sandy Hook, where the British fleet waited to ferry his army to New York.

[22] When the main body reached Tennent's Meeting House, some two miles (three kilometres) east of Englishtown, Washington ordered Major General Nathanael Greene to take a brigade to cover the right flank.

[23] Washington sent four brigades under Major General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben back to Englishtown to form a reserve.
