From Rawkins for what it is worth:
"The Rumford plan for the re-organisation of the Bavarian army in 1789 included two ‘Feldjäger’ regiments. The Feldjäger Regiment Nr 1 ‘von Schweicheldt’ was formed from elements the former ‘Piosasque’ Regiment in January 1790 and in December of that year a further regiment Feldjäger Regiment Nr 2 ‘Fürst Ysenburg’ was raised from new recruits and transfers from other regiments. The two regiments formed the ‘Feldjäger-brigade Nr 1’.
The organisation of the Feldjäger regiments was similar to that of the line infantry. Each regiment was composed of two battalions each of four companies, the battalions numbered Batailon Nr 1 and Batailon Nr 2. The battalions operated as separate units and were generally known by the name of the battalion commander. The companies were simply numbered 1 – 8, although the 1st company of the 1st Battalion continued to be known as the Leibkompanie and the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion continued to be named as the ‘Oberstleutnant-kompanie’, although this was possibly also known as the ‘Flügel-kompanie’. The two elite companies were designated as jägers and were formed around the cadre of the two absorbed former JägerKorps and armed with rifles. The remaining companies were styled as füsiliers and although technically light infantry were armed and equipped in the same manner as the line infantry.
Along with the other infantry regiments the Feldjäger were re-organised in 1799 and the two very under strength regiments were combined into a single four battalion regiment and renamed as the ‘Feldjäger-Regiment’. On 1st February 1801 the combined regiment was split into four independent light infantry battalions each with a Jäger company and four füsilier companies. The battalions were named for the battalion commanders but retained the single headquarters staff and each battalion raised a fifth ‘skeleton’ depot company.
With the acquisition of the new territories and recruitment areas in 1803 the number of battalions of light infantry was increased to six. On 27 March 1804 the ‘regimental Ober-stabs’ was disbanded and each battalion received its own independent, headquarters staff. A seventh battalion was raised in 1808. The battalions continued to be known by the name of the battalion commander until 1815.
On 31 March 1804 orders were issued that each line and light infantry regiment should raise in each füsilier company twenty ‘schützen’, sharpshooters, who were to be trained as skirmishers and armed with the rifle, of whom 5 were to be appointed as Gefreite. Additionally each regiment was to assign a Zimmerman, or pioneer, to each company; the Zimmerman of the 1st. ‘Leib’ company was to have the rank of Korporal and all other Zimmerleute were to be appointed Gefreite.
Reserve companies were raised in 1804 for each light infantry battalion around a cadre of regular junior officers and NCOs, usually the officer and sergeant were rotated so that all junior officers had the opportunity to command a company for a few months every year. The reserve company formed the regimental garrison, maintained a regional military presence when the regiment was in the field and received recruits and escorted them to the field battalions when they were assigned to active duty. This enabled swift replacements of casualties for the field battalions of fresh trained recruits. The injured and sick soldiers from the active service battalions were returned to the depot to serve as part of the reserve company until signed off as fit for duty or discharged. It also provided a facility for the use of soldiers nearing discharge or retirement who could assist with the training of new recruits.
In 1807 a ‘Tiroler-Jäger-Bataillon’ was formed from recruits found from the newly acquired Tirolean provinces. The battalion had the same organisation as the light infantry battalions but was never to achieve full strength. The battalion was intended to emulate the Austrian Tiroler-Jäger but was beset from the start with difficulty in recruiting from the reluctant Tirolese who resented the Bavarian governance of their province. When the 1809 campaign against Austria commenced the battalion virtually dissolved as the Tirolese conscripts deserted on masse to join their countrymen in the fight for liberation of the Tirol. The Bavarian officers and NCO who had been appointed to the battalion were transferred to other regiments and the battalion was stood down in the autumn of 1809 and formally disbanded on 1 January 1811."

Moien,
hochinteressant aber es geht mir um das Feldjägerkorps (Beritten und Jäger zu Fuß) Der englische oder auch französische Begriff ist "Guide". Die trugen eine grüne Uniform mit gelben Aufschlägen, einen schwarzen Zweispitz und die berittenen Jäger neben dem Säbel auch eine Säbeltasche! Pferdedecke war wohl rot mit weisem Rand und spitz zulaufend.

Sorry - wki at Königlich Bayerisches Gendarmeriekorps – Wikipedia has the following:
" Geschichte
Vorläufer
Bereits seit Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts gab es erste Bemühungen im Kurfürstentum Bayern um den Aufbau einer Polizeitruppe zur Aufrechterhaltung von Ordnung und Sicherheit. So versahen unter Kurfürst Karl Theodor Teile der Kavallerie unter der Bezeichnung „Militärischer Kordon“ polizeiliche Aufgaben.[1]
1805 wurden bayernweit landgerichtlich organisierte Polizeiwachen errichtet, deren Angehörigen einheitlich uniformiert und Polizeikordon genannt wurden. Durch eine königliche Verordnung von 1809 wurden diese dem Innenministerium unterstellt, die Disziplinaraufsicht übten aber weiterhin die Landrichter aus, als nächsthöhere Dienststelle wurden Generalkreiskommissariate errichtet. Durch diese Maßnahmen konnte die allgemeine Sicherheit jedoch nicht verbessert werden, was auf Personalmangel zurückzuführen war.
Das Korps von 1812 bis 1863
Königlich bayerischer Gendarm zu Pferd um 1840, Mitglied der Gendarmeriekompanie in der Haupt- und Residenzstadt München. Grüne Uniform, schwarzer Tschako. In der Verfassung des Königreichs Bayern von 1808 wurde die Errichtung einer Gensd’armerie festgelegt.[2] Aufgrund der prekären Finanzlage des Königreiches verzögerte sich ihr Aufbau, der 1808 begann und am 11. Oktober 1812 mit der Einigung des Innen-, Kriegs- und Finanzministeriums und dem Erlass eines Ediktes durch König Maximilian I. abgeschlossen wurde. Vorbild war, wie bei der praktisch zeitgleich gegründeten preußischen Landgendarmerie, die französische Gendarmerie impériale.
Sitze des in Legionen geteilten Korps waren ursprünglich die Städte München, Augsburg und Regensburg, 1815 wurde die Legion in Augsburg nach Nürnberg verlegt. Jede Legion bestand aus vier Kompanien, jede Kompanie aus mehreren Brigaden zu Pferd und zu Fuß.[3] Die Gendarmerie stellte das 1. Korps der Armee[1], war aber aufgrund des großen Einflusses von Maximilian von Montgelas bis zu dessen Entlassung 1817 nicht dem Kriegsministerium, sondern dem Geheimen Ministerialbüro für Gendarmerie-Gegenstände unterstellt...................."
