George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Bush Sr., Eisenhower, JFK, Zachary Taylor, US Grant, Jefferson Davis (CSA President).
Lincoln was with the troops and actually under fire following the Battle of Monocacy as Jubal Early's final thrust towards the defenses on the outskirts of DC were thrown back.
LBJ, Nixon, Carter and Ford all served in the Navy.
Garfield and Chester Arthur were both veterans of the Civil War and saw combat.
I'm probably leaving someone out, but by and large many of our presidents led troops at some time in their careers.

This is what your question would look like if it was written in English:
"Which presidents actually led troops into battle?"
The answer would be then: George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, George Bush Sr. All the others either never saw any battle, never was in command of any unit, or never served.
Harry S. Truman, Dwight Eisenhower were never in direct command of troops, but led other generals in wartime strategy.

As President? None. But a lot of presidents did before being elected.
Washington, Jackson, Grant, Hayes, T. Roosevelt, Bush the Elder and Kennedy are a few that come to mind.
(Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, and Carter were/are all military veterans who served during wartime but did not hold combat commands. Eisenhower never actually led a tactical unit, btw).

"I could be mistaken, but I believe that would be George Washington (Revolution), Ulysses S. Grant (Civil War) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (World War 2). They were actual generals and actually fought alongside troops. There might be more, but those are the only ones that come to my mind."
You are mistaken... do you really think we give our 4* Generals a rifle and send them in to the trenches? Idiot... Washington was the only one, and he didn't even want to be President... If you recall he was President under the constitution, not under the Articles of Confederation... and he did very little fighting because the Americans could not afford to lose him, it would crush the morale of the troops.

While in office, none of them. As prior service: G. Washington (Revolutionary War); Andy Jackson (War of 1812); Ulysses Grant, (Civil War); Teddy Roosevelt (Spanish American War); Dwight Eisenhower (WW2). George Bush, pere, was a fighter pilot in WW2, don't know if he was in a command position.
