Tabard teams

In the Austro-Hungarian army in Vienna , Prague , Tyrnau and Lemberg there were disability houses to care for disabled officers , NCOs and men , which belonged to the independent branch of the military disability pension . Only previous professional soldiers from the rank of captain or captain downwards were accepted when they had reached the age limit for military service. Depending on the number of inmates, the disabled houses were divided into companies of a maximum of 150 men. The staff on duty consisted of a captain or Rittmeister as company commanders and two subaltern officers as well as a tribe of NCOs. All belonged to the disabled status. The (pro forma) commanders of the disabled houses consisted of generals and staff officers of the retired. The term houses for disabled people should not be taken literally, as they were usually barracks .

Tunic officers

Adjustment

According to the adjustment regulations , crews and NCOs wore pike-gray caps in the style of officer's field caps. At the lower edge there was a 3 cm wide madder red stripe. The cockade, known as a rose, and the distinctive border were made of imperial yellow wool. The tunic consisted of pike-gray cloth with a stand-up collar, but the latter was only equipped with madder-red parolis instead of entirely in equalizing color . Cuffs and armpit bars were trimmed with madder-red cloth. At tunic two rows were attached by six white, smooth buttons. The field blouses had madder parolis on the collar .

The officers wore hats with plumed plumes like the military doctors and field caps like the infantry officers . The collar on the tunic was made in a scarlet equalizing color throughout , on the officers' field blouses there were scarlet paroles on the collar.

Light blue pantaloons were generally used as legwear. The coats were blue-gray with scarlet parolis for officers and madder red for men and non-commissioned officers.

The side arm of the teams was the infantry saber, which was hung over the right shoulder on a fly strap. Officers wielded the infantry officer's saber.
