Dominique Joba (19 November 1759 – 6 September 1809) was a French infantry commander who rose to the rank of general during the First French Empire. He was killed in action at the Siege of Girona.
War of the Second Coalition
Main article: War of the Second CoalitionJoba, together with Generals of Brigade Bonet and Poissonnier made up Ney's 2nd Division (9,630, 12 guns) on Grenier's Left Wing at the Battle of Hohenlinden (3 December).
In late December 1799, Joba headed one of the three brigades (the other two brigade generals were Sabatier and Roussel) based in Basel under Baraguey d'Hilliers's division of Saint-Cyr's Centre Corps of the Army of the Rhine and Moselle under Commander-in-Chief General Moreau.
On 1 May, these three brigade generals were still under the orders of Saint-Cyr and Baraguey d'Hilliers, but by 10 May 1800, Joba's infantry brigade had joined the existing two brigades led by Generals Bonet and Bonnamy, when General Ney's division was expanded to some 6,900 troops and horse.
The following month, however, Ney's division had been reduced to the two brigades led by Bonet and Joba.
