Napoleon had an Army made up of outstanding Generals that he had selected and trained himself. The French Military Academies produced officers with top notch competence who could lead from the front, and the ranks were almost always conscripts that had been quickly trained by veterans. There were very few who made up the standing Army and only small numbers of elite soldiers like the Old Guard.
