In the year 3434 of the Second Age, this was the site of a mighty battle (called the Battle of Dagorlad) in which the last Alliance of Elves and Men overthrew Sauron's army before going on to destroy the Black Gate and the Dark Tower of Mordor itself.
Through three thousand years of the Third Age, the wetlands of the Dead Marshes spread eastwards and swallowed up that part of the battle plain which contained many of the graves of the Men and Elves who died during the Battle of Dagorlad at the end of the Second Age.
The Barrow-wights and the mighty Ringwraiths were such beings; unquiet souls inhabited the Dead Marshes, where floods disturbed the graves of Men and Elves who had fallen at the Battle of Dagorlad near the Black Gate of Mordor.

 Mordor... the Land of Shadow
Sauron's stroke was mistimed, for he was not yet strong enough to capture Osgiliath, Gondor's capital, and this gave Elendil the time to forge a military alliance with his friend Gil-galad, the last High King of the Noldor.
Elendil and Gil-galad marched with the host of this Last Alliance to the gates of Mordor, where they worsted Sauron in a mighty battle on the plain afterwards called the Dagorlad.

And when that cloud lay so thick upon the battle plain that 'naught could be seen to the south, the horsemen of Lindon and Arnor galloped east and then north to rejoin their hosts for the opening charge to come.
Yet o'er all else was't heard the battle cries, the cheers, and the screams of the wounded and dying.
At Dagorlad, many of the warriors of Umbar fell 'neath the deadly sword of the High King of Arnor, for Narsil's bright steel, wrought well 'nigh two Ages aforetime by Telchar of Nogrod, flashed with a light all its own, and in his mighty hand it hewed flesh and mail with equal ease.

It may be that the entire force which engaged Amdir in the marshes was abandoned by Sauron in the retreat.
Although we don't know whether parts of Sauron's army survived the Battle of Dagorlad, we can be certain that his forces were greatly diminished.
This seems to be quite a distance from Barad-dur, but it may be that during the years of the siege Gil-galad had to contend with forces outside the Barad-dur in the lands to the east and south.

At the Battle of Dagorlad he disregarded the tactical plan and led a reckless charge in which he was slain along with two-thirds of his troops.

Exact numbers aren't given for the Last Alliance (I'm assuming you mean the Battle of Dagorlad and the Seige of Barad-dûr), nor are they given for the entire War of the Ring.
At the battle at the gate, Sauron deployed around 60,000 troops ("forces 10 times, and more than 10 times their match would ring them in a sea of enemies").
Before they even got close to the city, while they were in Druadan Forest they were about to be ambushed by a detachment or orcs around three times their number, who was not involved in the sack of the city.

Elves have clearer perception and more heightened awareness than humans, which was a valuable aid when Gil-galad, the last High King of the Noldor, joined Elendil, King of Gondor, to create The Last Alliance of Elves and Men in order to defeat the evil Sauron and his legion of orcs.
The army of the Last Alliance won the Battle of Dagorlad.
After heavy battle, Gil-galad and Elendil were slain, but Isildur, son of Elendil, cut “The One Ring” from Sauron’s finger, thus ending his reign of power.

 The Shire Fellowship
The Battle of Dagorlad was visually powerful, especially the line of Elves doing their Orc-mower thing, and Sauron's taking out whole companies of men with his mace or mallet or whatever it was he was swinging, and then the Earth's concussion when the ring was cut from his hand and he was seemingly destroyed.
I guess we'll have to be content with depictions of Pippin as a member of the Tower Guard and Merry as Theoden's squire, and their valour at the battles of the Pelennor Fields and the Black Gate.
It would be kinda weird showing those battles in the movie so it seems to have been decided to have some Elves at Helm's Deep too, to show the important role the Elves' played in the War of the Ring (except Legolas of course).
