The officer was promoted to colonel and commander of this 38th Lombard line infantry regiment in Brescia under Eugen Graf von Haugwitz as early as 1837 . On September 1, 1839, he was promoted to lieutenant of the Imperial Lombard-Venetian Noble Life Guard. As such and kk colonel, he received the hereditary-Austrian knighthood on November 7, 1840 (diploma from December 17 of that year).

On July 16, 1841, he was appointed major general and on October 1, 1842, he was appointed first lieutenant of the said Guard.
