  • The Anglo-Portuguese Army was the combined British and Portuguese army that participated in the Peninsular War, under the command of Arthur Wellesley. The Army is also referred to as the British-Portuguese Army and, in Portuguese, as the Exército Anglo-Luso or the Exército Anglo-Português. The Anglo-Portuguese Army was established with the British Army deployed to the Iberian Peninsula under the command of General Arthur Wellesley, and the Portuguese Army rebuilt under the leadership of British General William Beresford and the Portuguese War Secretary Miguel Pereira Forjaz. The new Portuguese battalions were supplied with British equipment, trained to British standards and thoroughly re-organised. Incompetent or corrupt officers were cashiered and appropriate replacements were appointed or promoted from amongst promising Non-commissioned officers. On 22 April 1809, Wellesley became Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in the Peninsula, replacing General Cradock, whose assessment of the military situation the British government found too pessimistic. At the same time he was appointed by the Portuguese Government as Commander-in-Chief of the Portuguese Army. He then came to have the two armies under his command, transforming them into a single integrated army. The Army was organised into divisions, most of them including mixed British-Portuguese units. Usually, each one had two British and one Portuguese brigades. In the elite Light Division, the brigades themselves were mixed, each including two British light infantry and one Portuguese Caçadores battalions. (en)
  • O Exército Anglo-Português ou Exército Anglo-Luso (em inglês: Anglo-Portuguese Army) foi a força conjunta constituída pelos exércitos britânico e português na Guerra Peninsular, sob o comando de Arthur Wellesley. O Exército Português foi reconstruído sob a liderança do general britânico William Beresford e o Secretário de Guerra Português Miguel Pereira Forjaz. Além de já se tornar comandante-em-chefe do exército britânico, em 22 de abril de 1809, Wellesley foi nomeado, pelo Governo Português, o Comandante-em-chefe do Exército Português. O Exército foi organizado em divisões, a maioria incluindo unidades luso-britânicas. Normalmente, cada um tinha duas brigadas britânicas e uma brigada portuguesa. (pt)
  • Англо-португальская армия была объединенной британской и португальской армией, которая участвовала в Пиренейской войне под командованием Артура Уэлсли. Армия также известна как британско-португальская, а на португальском языке как Exército Anglo-Luso или Exército Anglo-Português. Англо-португальская армия была создана после того, как британская армия под командованием генерала Артура Уэлсли была развернута на Пиренейском полуострове, а португальская армия была заново воссоздана под руководством британского генерала Уильяма Бересфорда и португальского министра обороны . Новые португальские батальоны были снабжены британским обмундированием, обучены по британским стандартам и тщательно реорганизованы. Некомпетентные или коррумпированные офицеры были подвергнуты гражданской казни, и среди многообещающих унтер-офицеров им была найдена замена. 22 апреля 1809 года Уэлсли стал главнокомандующим британской армией на полуострове, заменив , чью оценку военной ситуации британское правительство сочло слишком пессимистичной. В то же время Уэлсли был назначен главнокомандующим португальской армии. В результате он стал командующим двух армий, которые превратил в единую армию. Армия была поделена на дивизии, большинство которых включало смешанные британо-португальские подразделения. Обычно в каждой было две британские и одна португальская бригады. В элитной лёгкой дивизии сами бригады были смешанными, состоявшими из двух батальонов британской легкой пехоты и одного батальона португальских касадоров. (ru)
