By 1810 Württemberg had doubled the population and territory it had possessed before the Revolution. One price was supplying troops for Napoleon’s campaigns (some 20,000 in 1809 and 16,000 in 1812).
12 July 1806: Seven line infantry regiments, each comprised one battalion of 4 musketeer companies (of 160 men).
Between 1807 and 1808, all infantry regiments were gradually increased to two battalions,the first battalion of one grenadier and three musketeer companies , the second battalion of four musketeer companies.
Prior to the 1809 Austrian campaign, all infantry regiments were expanded to an establishment of two battalions
An infantry division of 2 line brigades (each of 2 regiments) and 1 light brigade (all 4 jäger and fusilier battalions), By the end of the 1809 Austrian campaign Württemberg had raised an 8th regiment of line infantry
During the 1812 Russian campaign Württemberg troops made up 2 divisions assigned to Ney’s III Corps: 25th Infantry Division of 3 brigades (2 line brigades, each of 2 line regiments and 1 chasseur (jäger?) battalion and 1 light brigade with the 2 light battalions).
