The Department of War accounted for approximately 40% of the United States' budget, so early in 1796, with less threat of Native American or British conflict, Congress reduced the Legion to just 3,359 and branded it as the United States Army. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sub-Legions became the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Regiments of the Army. After the death of General Wayne at Fort Presque Isle on 15 December 1796, his second-in-command, Brigadier General James Wilkinson (later found to be a spy for the Spanish government) became the Senior Officer of the Army.
