 Hazen and his regiment spent the winter at Washington 's main encampment in Morristown , New Jersey . There Hazen was again involved in litigation ; he was rejected for service on a court martial considering charges against Benedict Arnold due to their previous confrontations , and he also opened complaints of supply mismanagement during the summer 's roadbuilding activities . A detailed review of the army in the spring of 1780 by Baron von Steuben led to the recommendation that the regiments of Hazen and Livingston be merged , as Livingston 's had shrunk to 103 men . Hazen and Livingston had a political tussle over seniority ; although Hazen lost the claim to seniority , he ended up in command of the combined regiment .
