Austrian Corps-Level Order-of-Battle

 

Taken from Militär-Schematismus des Österreichischen Kaiserthums, Vienna. (1854, 1855, and 1856 editions). Note that this annual army list does not entirely reflect the large-scale troop movements eastwards in response to the Crimean War. For instance, the commander of the troops occupying the Danubian Principalities was Graf Coronini, but this is not mentioned in the Schematismi, where he remains in his peacetime position of governor of the Banat and Vojvodina. The Schematismi do not reveal the assignments of regiments, brigades, or divisions. - Mark Conrad, 2000.
