Landwehr Infanterieregimenter as at August 1914

The Austrian Landwehr infantry was organised in 37 Landwehr infantry regiments and a further three "Landesschützen-Regimenter" which were trained as specialist mountain infantry regiments. Additionally Landwehr infantry regiments Nr.4 and Nr.27 were also trained for mountain duties. Landwehr infantry regiments generally had in peacetime 3 field battalions as opposed to the four in a common army regiment. Landesschützen regiments I and III had however four battalions and Landwehr Infantry Regiments Nr.23 and 27 had two each. Two redesignations of regimental names took place in January and April 1917 respectively to reflect the valour of the Austrian Landwehr: The regiments were renamed as followed:

16 January 1917 Landesschützen-Regimenter I-III Kaiserschützen-Regimenter I-III
11 April 1917 Landwehr Infanterie-Regimenter Schützen-Regimenter
