I think, you need to be a bit more specific. Outremer was the collective term for all the various Crusader states that existed in Palestine for two hundred years. There wasn't one homogenous army, but it was an ever changing assortment of whatever Christian troops fom whatever Europen country happen to be there or whatever mercenaries they could hire. There were few constant elements, the various religious military orders, for example.
