Wellington reformed the corps after Napoleon returned from exile in 1815 and it served with his army in the Waterloo campaign. Three men were taken from each cavalry regiment, including those of Britain's allies, that were under Wellington's command and combined into a unit of two troops. The men were granted additional pay of one franc per day. Scovell commanded the unit and was requested to bring former officers of the corps over from Britain. These officer's commissions were dated 10 August 1815, though the campaign had ended the previous month with the restoration of the Bourbon king Louis XVIII to his throne in Paris. The two troops accompanied Wellington's army on the march to Paris and a further two troops were raised to serve during the subsequent occupation of France. As well as policing duties the corps was responsible for making compensation payments to French citizens affected by the army of occupation. They distributed 19,000 francs to the inhabitants of Fontaine-Notre-Dame after a fire, originating in a British Army forge, destroyed 20 houses on 25 April 1816. The Cavalry Staff Corps acted as part of the "enemy" force during wargames of the allied armies near Valenciennes in the autumn of 1818.
