Guards infantry and infantry regiments before the First world war was a formidable force at the time with a complex structure. In the States of the regiments maintained the traditional categories of military personnel who are not in a hurry to give up: musicians, linear and signalist, Znamenskii, many Nesterovich appointments, nurses, etc. In the shelves with “marine” in the past there was a boat team. But there were also new units, the formation of which was a reflection of technological progress in military Affairs. These were special teams that provided the conduct of the battle, taking into account the requirements of the early XX century: teams of foot and horse scouts, machine gun, searchlight teams, a team for communication, which included scooters, telephone operators and horse orderly. Rapidly changing conditions of the First world war made it necessary to further retrofit infantry.

In addition to the guards infantry and infantry regiments “on guard of the throne” was His own Imperial Majesty Consolidated infantry regiment, which was staffed by officers and lower ranks, sent not only from the guards, but also from army units, as well as naval crews. However, the “guard position” the regiment made a number of peculiarities in uniforms and equipment sent to him soldiers.
To replenish the guards infantry and infantry regiments during the war, reserve guards infantry and infantry battalions were formed. They were the “forge of personnel” going to the front of the marching companies and were supplied with samples of marching uniforms and equipment of their “mother” guard units, although with some differences. But very few people assumed that these battalions directly connected with a support of the Imperial throne – Guard will play a fatal role in February revolution of 1917 and will become the reason of collapse of the Russian Empire…
