Between 1929 and 1931 he was charged as Commanding Officer of the Infantry 6th Mixed Brigade. After that he was commanding the 1st Cavalry Brigade from 1931 to 1933. Between 1933 and 1935 he served as Deputy Chief of the General Staff. Since 1933 he was the Aide-de-Camp to the Regent. Keresztes-Fischer held this office until 1941.
From 1935 to 1938 he served as Chief of the Military Chancellery.
