In the summer of 1808, as relations with Austria deteriorated, III Corps was redeployed to Franconia to watch the border, Morand being stationed in Neumarkt. When the War of the Fifth Coalition broke out in April 1809, his division was temporarily transferred to Marshal Lannes, fighting at Abensberg, Landshut, and Eckmühl on 20–22 April. Back with the III Corps, he fought at Wagram, where he was wounded.
