The Life-Grenadiers (of the 1st Division), Graf Arakcheev’s Grenadiers (1st Division), and the Kexholm Infantry (11th Division), being with the Guards troops, did not detach their second battalions, while the first of these, as all Grenadier regiments, did not have a Reserve battalion. The second and Reserve battalions of the Yelets Regiment (11th Division) were located on their settlement in Mogilev Province, and therefore were not part of the Reserve forces; likewise second battalions were not detached from the 19th and 20th Divisions stationed in Georgia and the Caucasus, and whose Reserve battalions were soon disbanded.

15 March 1812 – The Infantry divisions formed from Zapasnyi and Rezervnyi battalions were assigned to the newly established Reserve armies [Rezervnyya armii], but since war with France soon broke out these armies were not completely formed:

     32nd, 33rd, 39th, 40th, 41st, and 42nd Divisions — to the 1st Reserve Army;
     34th, 35th, 36th, and 37th Divisions — to the 2nd Reserve Army;
     43rd, 44th, 45th, 46th, and 47th Divisions — to the 3rd Reserve, Observation, Army.

The 30th and 31st Divisions were not assigned to these armies, but formed the garrison in the city of Riga, and the 38th was used to fill out various regiments (48).

19 March 1812 – With the organization of the 1st and 2nd Western Armies [1-ya i 2-ya Zapadnyya armii] from the forces deployed on the Empire’s western border, the first comprised: the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 11th, 14th, 17th, 23rd, and 24th Infantry Divisions, and the second: the 2nd, 12th, 26th, and 27th. All were with their Combined Grenadier battalions (49).

1 May 1812 – From the recruits mustered in Yaroslavl, Vladimir, Kostroma, Voronezh, Ryazan, and Tambov were established new regiments: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Infantry, and 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Jägers (50).

5 May 1812 – With the formation of the new 3rd Reserve Observation Army [3-ya Rezervnaya Observatsionnaya armiya] (in place of the one never organized), it was assigned the following Infantry divisions: 9th, 15th, and 18th, with their Combined Grenadier battalions, as well as the Zapasnyi battalions of the 15th and 18th Divisions. Additionally, as related above, the 8th, 10th, 13th, 16th, and 22nd Divisions were in the Danube Army [Dunaiskaya armiya]; the 6th, 21st, and 25th – in Finland; and the 19th and 20th – in Georgia and on the Caucasian Line.
     The Zapasnyi and Rezervnyi battalions enumerated above were in part distributed to the various corps, where they subsequently were used to replace losses in personnel, and in part, at the very beginning of military operations, used to bring the forces up to strength under the direct orders of the Commanders-in-Chief of the armies.
     By the month of June, i.e. by the time the forces of the Emperor Napoleon crossed over the Russian borders, the distribution of Infantry divisions to the three armies facing him was as follows:

                                a.) In the 1st Western Army [1-ya Zapadnaya armiya]:
     In the 1st Inf. Corps — 5th and 4th Divisions, with their Combined Grenadier Battalions and the Zapasnyi battalions of the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 11th, and 23rd Divisions.
         –— 2nd  —  ———  4th and 17th Divisions, with their Combined Grenadier Battalions.

                                b.) In the 2nd Western Army [2-ya Zapadnaya armiya]:
     In the 7th Inf. Corps —  26th and 12th Divisions.
         –— 8th  —  ———    2nd Division and Combined Grenadier Division from the second Grenadier companies of the 2nd, 26th, and 12th Divisions.

                                c.) In the 3rd Reserve Observation Army [3-ya Rezervnaya Observatsionnaya armiya]:
     In Lt.-Gen. Morkov’s Corps —  9th and 15th Divisions.
       —  Graf Kamenskii’s ——  — 18th Division and the Combined Grenadier Battalions of the 9th, 15th, and 18th Divisions.
       —  Lt.-Gen. Saken’s  ——  —  36th Division, composed of the Zapasnyi battalions of the 12th and 15th Divisions (51).

27 June 1812 – From recruits of the Recruit Depots of the 2nd Line were established: the 9-i, 10-i, 11-i, 12-i, 13-i, and 14-i Pekhotnye polki [Infantry regiments], and afterwards all Recruit Depots were disbanded (52).

16 September 1812 – The 1-ya and 2-ya Zapadnyya armii [1st and 2nd Western Armies] were combined into one, under the name Glavnaya armiya [Main Army] (53).

17 September 1812 – From the 3-ya Rezervnaya Observatsionaya armiya [3rd Reserve Observation Army]and the Dunaiskaya armiya [Danube Army] was formed the 3-ya Zapadnaya armiya [3rd Western Army] (54).

26 October 1812 – Having been established in May and June of this year, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th Infantry regiments and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Jäger regiments were disbanded in order to provide replacements for the other forces in the Main Army (55).

After this, during the remaining months of 1812, in 1813, and in the greater half of 1814, there were many changes in the composition and names themselves of the armies, corps, and divisions operating against the enemy, directly resulting from the course of the war. Being only temporary measures on the part of the Commanders-in-Chief, they belong more to a history of the military operations of that time then to a survey of the basic changes in the composition and nomenclature of the forces, and therefore only those Government orders will be presented below which directed changes that were not just applicable to wartime.

11 March 1813 – The Borodinskii [Borodino] and Tarutinskii [Tarutino] Pekhotnye polki were established, assigned to the 23rd Division (56).

16 March 1813 – The 1-i, 2-i, 3-i, and 4-i Morskie polki [Marine regiments], each consisting of three four-company battalions, and the four-company Kaspiiskii Morskoi batalion [Caspian Marine Battalion] were transferred from the Navy Department [Morskoe vedomstvo] to the Military-Land [i.e. Army] Department [Voenno-Sukhoputnoe vedomstvo]. In 1812 the first three of these were already in the 25th Infantry Division (57).

13 April 1813 – For their distinction during the 1812 campaign, the Life-Grenadier and Pavlovsk Grenadier Regiments became part of the Guards, and the Kexholm and Pernau Infantry, for similar distinction, became Grenadiers (58).

11 July 1813 – New regiments were established: the Krasinskii, Rostovskii, Izmailskii and Benderskii [Bendery] Pekhotnye polki [Infantry regiments]and the 51-i, 52-i, and 53-i Yegerskie polki [Jäger regiments], of which the Krasinskii and the 51st joined the 23rd Infantry Division, and from the remaining five along with the 4th Marine Regiment was formed a new division titled the 28th Infantry. The 12 Zapasnyi and 8 Reservnyi battalions of the 8th, 10th, 12th, and 22nd Divisions, left in Bessarabia and the New Russia Territory, were used to form these regiments (59).

4 November 1813 – Of the regiments listed above, the Krasinskii was named the 54-i Yegerskii [54th Jägers], the Rostovskii – the 55-i, and the Benderskii – the 56-i (60).

3 April 1814 – The 1st, 3rd, 8th, 14th, 26th, and 29th Jäger regiments, in recognition of the distinction they showed in the past war with France, were titled Grenadier Jägers [Grenaderskie Yegerskie], with retention of their previous numbers and with inclusion into the Grenadier Corps [Grenaderskii Korpus], which at this time was formed from the three Grenadier divisions, with regiments assigned to these divisions as follows:

       In the 1st Grenadier Division — Yekaterinoslavl, Graf Arakcheev’s, Kexholm, and Pernau  Grenadiers, and 1st and 3rd Grenadier Jägers.
        —— 2nd ———  —————  Kiev, Moscow, St.-Petersburg, and Taurica Grenadiers, and 8th and 14th Grenadier Jägers.
        —— 3rd  ———  ————— Astrakhan, Phanagoria, Siberia, and Little Russia Grenadiers, and 26th and 29th Grenadier Jägers.

To replace the six Jäger regiments removed to these divisions, regiments were reassigned as follows: from the 23rd Division to the 6th Division – the 54th Jägers; from the 28th to the 15th – the 52nd Jägers; from the 28th, again, to the 10th – the 53rd Jägers; from the 28th, again, to the 14th – the 55th Jägers; from the 28th, again, to the 22nd – the 56th Jägers; and from the 28th, again, to the 11th – the 57th Jägers. The remaining regiment of the 28th Division, the 4th Marines, transferred to the 23rd Division in place of the reassigned 54th Jägers, and then the number of the disbanded 28th Infantry Division was adopted by the former 3rd Infantry Division (61).

29 August 1814 – With the confirmation of a new distribution of corps, divisions, and brigades to the armies, Army infantry regiments were assigned to these as follows:

These would provide replacement personnel as well as horses for the other, i.e. active, squadrons. A Replacement Brigade [Zapasnaya brigada] was supposed to be formed in Cuirassier divisions by the uniting of a division’s replacement squadrons, and in other divisions by the uniting of each brigade’s replacement squadrons (136).

12 October 1811 – New Cuirassier regiments were established: the Astrakhanskii and Novgorodskii, with the first being assigned to the 1st Cuirassier Division and the second—to the 2nd. The distribution of Army Cavalry regiments was then as follows:

18 November 1811 – In the Podgoshcha, Staraya Russa, Kholm, Toropets, Yelna, Roslavl, Konotop, Romny, and Akhtyrka Recruit Depots, it was ordered to have recruits for four squadrons, and in the Novgorod-Severskii Depot—for six, it being prescribed that there be one squadron for each Dragoon regiment and two for each Hussar and Lancer regiment. In the first, i.e. the Dragoon regiments, they formed sixth Reserve Squadrons [Rezervnye eskadrony], and in the others—eleventh and twelfth Reserve Squadrons, so that there would be one reserve squadron for every five operational squadrons (138).

22 November 1811 – It was directed that there be four such reserve squadrons at each of the Recruit Depots: Chigrin, Novomirgorod, Yelisavetgrad, and Olviopol. Thus, all the regiments of the seven Cavalry divisions mentioned above had reserve squadrons except the Astrakhan and Novgorod Cuirassiers and Chuguev Lancers, which were just forming and were manned by personnel from the settlements assigned to them (139).

14 March 1812 – Eight new Cavalry divisions were ordered to be formed from replacement and reserve squadrons:

      12th, 15th, and 16th   ———  to the 3rd Reserve Observation Army.

Because of the war with France which was to begin soon, the formation of these three Armies did not take place, and the reserve squadrons, in a manner similar to the above-mentioned reserve battalions of the infantry, were step by step used to fill out Cavalry regiments (141).

9 May 1812 – The Vladimir, Taganrog, Nizhnii-Novgorod, and Serpukhov Dragoons, and the Lubny and Pavlograd Hussars, were ordered to form the 8th Cavalry Division, and then the cavalry had the following distribution:
