Abstrakty
The Field Jaeger Battalions were an integral part of the Austro-Hungarian Army in the World War 1. The origin of these special units in the Habsburg Army dates back to the mid-18th century. This was caused by the tactical-strategic changes on the battlefield, where not only the quantity, but also the quality of the military units themselves determined the outcome. The Field Jaeger Battalions were formed into elite rifle units of the Habsburg Army over the decades. In the early days, men with experience in the forest terrain who knew how to handle a firearm adequately were drafted into these units. With numerous military and organisational changes in the Habsburg Army, the jaegers became an integral part of the armed forces, whose supplementary districts were located in the territory inhabited by Slovaks. These “Slovak” battalions of field jaegers naturally participated in the formation of the Army, in its successes and defeats, and also influenced the cultural, social, political and architectural character of the garrison town. The aim of the study therefore is, on the basis of contemporary military schematics of the Austrian and later Austro-Hungarian Army, to identify and briefly characterize those Field Jaeger Battalions in charge of the replenishment district or one of the organizational components (warehouse, headquarters) on the territory of North-eastern Hungary until 1914.
