Imperial Russian Army formations and units (1914)

This article lists the formations of the Imperial Russian Army in 1914 prior to World War I mobilisation for the Russian invasion of Prussia and Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia.

The prewar chain of command was: military district, Corps (or Army Corps), then to Division, Brigade, Regiment, and then the regiment's battalions.

After mobilisation in the event of war the chain of command ran from Stavka, the Russian general headquarters, which was created during mobilization, to Front-level (Army group) also created during mobilization, to the Army level. Army headquarters were created during mobilization by transformation of the military district headquarters. Below Army level the chain was the same; Corps (or Army Corps, it was used interchangeably), division, brigade, and regiment.
