The official names in German were:
This army existed from establishment of the Dual Monarchy in 1867 until the end of World War I in 1918 . Prior to 1867, Austria's ground forces were those of the Austrian Empire . The existing Hungarian units (mostly light cavalry) were either disbanded or dislocated after the Hungarian war of independence in 1848-49, and national military units couldn't be organized until 1867. After this the Imperial and Royal (k.u.k.) units had the priority of training and access to the new equipments, the Landwehr and the Honvédség have only inferior equipment. Serving in the Honvédség or even the Landwehr has little prestige among the officers and the best trained ones of them could be found in the k.u.k. army. The units of the Honvédség had the full combat strength only in war-time periods, when the empty places were filled with reserves. RANKS POWs in Russia ; a 1915 photo by Prokudin-Gorskii ]]
