Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Napoleonic-task-force=yes or Napoleonic=y to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Napoleonic era task force articles.
