To this must be added unattached troops and troops on frontier or garrison duty, so that the war strength of the standing army can be reckoned at some 2,000,000.
This grand total is not all available in a European theatre of war.

The Siberian and Turkistanian army corps must be deducted, as they would certainly be left in the interior and on the eastern frontier.

For the maintenance of order in the interior, it would probably be necessary to leave the troops in Finland, the Guards at St.Petersburg, at least one division at Moscow, and the Caucasian army corps in the Caucasus.

This would mean a deduction of thirteen army corps, or 546,000 men; so that we have to reckon with a field army, made up of the standing army, 1,454,000 men strong.

To this must be added about 100 regiments of Cossacks of the Second and Third Ban, which may be placed at 50,000 men, and the reserve and Empire-defence formations to be set on foot in case of war.
