Austrian

    Front Line
      Karl Riese #15: 3 bttns
      Reuss-Plauen #17: 3 bttns
      Stuart #18: 3 bttns
      Kolowrat-Krakowsky #36: 3 bttns
    Army Reserve (not engaged)
      Manfredini #12: 5 bttns (1 is Grenadier)
      Auersperg #24: 5 bttns (1 is Grenadier)
      Erbach #42: 4 bttns (1 is Grenadier)
    Artillery: 24 6-pdr guns

Note: in 1805 each Austrian infantry battalion serving in the Danube theater was supposed to have two 6-pounder guns attached as battalion artillery. However, due to the shortage of drivers and horse teams, this goal was never fully realized. At Haslach-jungingen, only the 12 battalions of the Right Column brought battlion artilley onto the field, resulting in a total of 24 6-pdr guns. Unfortunately, a better breakdown of which guns went to which battalions during the action is not available.

Also, the size of Austrian battalions in this action is not available.
