The battalion arrived in Nancy on 4 August after being transferred from the Rhine, and joined the Army of the West "(Armée du l'Oest)" under François Séverin Marceau. On 23 August the battalion arrived in Saumur and immediately sent in pursuit of the Vendeans who had just crossed over the right bank of the Loire. The battalion then found itself involved in the Battle of Granville, Battle of Pontorson, Battle of Entrames, and Battle of Dol, where it distinguished itself during these actions over its volunteer counterparts. On 12 December the regiment was involved in the Battle of Le Mans where the German Legion ("Légion Germanique)", was unable to hold the town, but after the arrival of the Armagnac and Aunis regiments, the battle became a Republic victory.
