Wellington, in the summer of 1813, consolidates the partisans working under him to be in the Spanish 4th Army- and in the canon where Teresa is Fine, it's my personal headcanon that rather than putting her in the 4th Army, Wellington makes her an officer on his staff- specifically a Major.

Making her men detachments allows him to send her off where he needs her, and with the rank allows her to lead them as she usually does, but under a more official banner. It's more efficient and she can answer directly to him, rather than jumping through hoops. Legend has it that Wellington did this with Agustina de Aragón, though whether its true or not, I do think Wellington would see the benefits of having Teresa on his staff considering how long she's worked for him, though there would be considerable changes Teresa would have to abide by, she'd happily accept.

#;ooc #(someone reblogged my last post and i feared they might've misconstrued my headcanon as canon LOL) #(to be fair i made that post when ive already talked about this before but im talking about it again) #(and as always thank you to sam for always helping me with the military stuff) #(ALSO: bc teresa is in camp more she brings antonia!! so sharpe can see his wife AND daughter all the time now ;w;) #(also in Sharpe's Command Sharpe comments that Teresa as a comandante is a higher rank than him) #(and now she's a higher rank than him AGAIN until Waterloo LOL) #(but lbr Sharpe is SO proud of that) #(i need to finish my spying for wellington book its just so dry but also fascinating)
