 Following Arnold 's assumption of command at Montreal , Hazen 's regiment was assigned to garrison duty at Fort Chambly . Hazen ( and likely his men ) were called as reinforcements to assist in the American response to the action at The Cedars . In council , Hazen and Arnold had a heated exchange over what actions to take ; in Arnold 's opinion , Hazen 's behavior bordered on insubordination . Arnold had previously held a high opinion of Hazen , writing that he was " a sensible , judicious officer , and well acquainted with this country " .
