context_page_description: The Army of the Eastern Pyrenees was one of the French Revolutionary armies. It fought against the Kingdom of Spain in Roussillon, the Cerdanya and Catalonia during the War of the Pyrenees. This army and the Army of the Western Pyrenees were formed by splitting the original Army of the Pyrenees at the end of April 1793 soon after the war started. Shortly after the Peace of Basel on 22 July 1795, the fighting ended and the army was dissolved on 12 October that same year. Many of its units and generals were transferred to join the Army of Italy and fought under Napoleon Bonaparte in 1796.
context_section_description: Army commanders and their tenure are listed as follows:
  Joseph Marie Servan de Gerbey, 1 May–4 July 1793
  Anne François Augustin de La Bourdonnaye, interim, 5–10 July 1793
  Pierre Joseph du Chambge d'Elbecq, 11 July–31 August 1793
  Jean Étienne Philibert Deprez de Crassier, 1 September–4 October 1793
  Jacques Léonard Muller, 5 October 1793–30 August 1794
  Jean Henri Guy Nicolas de Frégeville, temporary, March 1794
  Bon Adrien Jeannot de Moncey, 1 September 1794–12 October 1795
  Named commander-in-chief on 8 September 1793, Dumas arrived on 28 October but the representatives prevented him from taking command. Instead they confirmed Muller as provisional commander. At the beginning of December, under a new order of the Executive Council, Dumas left the army without having taken command. Instead, he led a column of reinforcements to the Army of the West.
