Joining the Northern Army in 1792, the Bourbon Regiment was reclassified as the 3rd Dragoon Regiment. This regiment will serve in the ensuing battles of Valmy and Jemappes. In 1794, the 3rd Dragoons were still fighting with the Army of the North, fighting at Sprimont, and attended Complementary day festivals. In 1796, the 3rd Dragoons were sent to the Army of Italy, crossing the Arcole Bridge and defeating Austrian/Coalition forces. The Dragoons were also part of the expedition to Egypt, fighting against local Ottoman forces, distinguishing themselves at the Battle of Aboukir. Returning from the expedition, the 3rd Dragoons rejoined the Army of Italy, becoming part of the reserve.
