Austro-Hungarian Dragoon Regiment "Prince of Liechtenstein" No. 10
The regiment under the name "Batthyányi" in the War of the Polish Succession in 1734 - contemporary Gudenus manuscript
The regiment was established in 1631 as an Ilow Dragoons for the imperial Habsburg army . From this, over the course of time, up to the joint army within the Austro-Hungarian Land Forces, the kuk dragoon regiment "Prince of Liechtenstein" No. 10 developed
In 1769 the regiment was given the name Cavalry Regiment No. 7 in the newly established cavalry ranking list . However, the name continued to be after the regiment owner (who did not also have to be the commander) until 1798 . There was no binding regulation of the spelling. (e.g. Count Serbelloni regiment - or Serbelloni regiment.) With each change of ownership, the regiment concerned changed its name.
After the system was changed in 1798, the numbered designation prevailed, which could possibly be linked to the name of the owner. At first the name was changed to Dragoon Regiment No. 12 .
The regiment had to use this name for ever since 1888 . Nevertheless, in 1915 all honorary names were deleted without replacement. From then on the regiment was only called kuk Dragoon Regiment No. 10 (However, this could not be enforced in common parlance, on the one hand because nobody adhered to it, on the other hand the thrifty kuk military administration had ordered that all existing stamps and forms should be used up first.)
The following numbering was subsequently introduced for the system: 1631/16 (to Ticino ), Dragoon Regiment D III (to Bleckwenn ).
With an existence of 287 years it was the oldest dragoon regiment and the second oldest regiment of the entire Austro-Hungarian cavalry.

Whereabouts
After the proclamation of Czechoslovakia as an independent state in October 1918, the soldiers of Czech origin were called on by the interim government to stop the fighting and return home. As a rule, this request was obeyed by the regiment's Czech crew. (In terms of constitutional law, this also applied to the German-Bohemian soldiers, as they were suddenly Czechoslovak citizens. The extent to which they complied with this request is no longer comprehensible, but it should have been the exception.) Thus, the association was its previous high command, the The kuk war ministry was withdrawn and could not be demobilized by the latter and, at best, theoretically dissolved. It is currently not known whether, when and where such a dissolution took place. The regiment was disarmed in Poland on the way home from the Ukraine and was only able to reach the home garrisons with great difficulty.

structure
A regiment in the Austro-Hungarian Cavalry usually consisted of three to four (in exceptional cases more) divisions. (A division was used here to refer to a battalion-strength unit. The correct division was called an infantry or cavalry division.) Each division had three squadrons , each of which consisted of two companies . The number of riders in the individual sub-units fluctuated, but was usually around 80 riders per company or 160 riders per squadron.
(During the army reform begun by Emperor Joseph II , the company structure within the cavalry was abandoned.)
The individual divisions were named after their formal leaders:
- the 1st division was the colonel division
- the 2nd division was the lieutenant colonel (lieutenant colonel) division
- the 3rd division was the majors division
- the 4th division was the 2nd majors division
- the 5th division (if any) was the 3rd majors division
Due to the constant renaming, the regimental histories of the Austro-Hungarian cavalry are very difficult to follow. In addition, there is the constant and apparently arbitrary, sometimes multiple reclassification of the associations. (For example: Kuk Bohemian Dragoon Regiment "Prince of Windisch-Graetz" No. 14 )
