The defeat of Harmar and St. Clair caused a shift in thinking. Congress recognized that it needed a larger, professional army, and authorized a federal force strength of 5,190. President George Washington drafted a list of sixteen general officers from the American Revolutionary War to lead an expanded Army in the Northwest, including Benjamin Lincoln, Daniel Morgan, and Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. After consulting with his cabinet, he picked Anthony Wayne to lead the new professional army, although Washington originally considered him too vain. Influenced by treatises from both Henry Bouquet and General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, and at the recommendation of Secretary of War Henry Knox and General von Steuben, it was decided to recruit and train a "Legion", a force that would combine all land combat arms of the day (cavalry, heavy and light infantry, artillery) into one efficient brigade-sized force divisible into stand-alone combined arms teams. Congress agreed with this proposal and agreed to augment the small standing army until "the United States shall be at peace with the Indian tribes." Congress also passed the Militia Acts of 1792, giving President Washington authority over state militias in a time of national emergency.
