He was finally accepted into the army. In 1806, he undertook an expedition to Baluchistan (a region straddling Pakistan and Iran) in order to assess the risks of an invasion of India by the French army. He was one of the first Europeans to venture into these then almost unknown territories and the first to give a precise description of them.
