• Source: Imperial Russian Army formations and units (1914)

This article lists Imperial Russian Army formations and units in 1914 prior to the mobilisation for the Russian invasion of Prussia and the offensive into the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia.
The prewar chain of command was: military district, corps (or Army corps), then to division, brigade, regiment, and then the regiment's battalions.
After mobilisation in the event of war the chain of command of the Imperial Russian Army ran from Stavka, the Russian general headquarters, which was created during mobilization, to Front-level (Army group) also created during mobilization, to the Army level. Army headquarters were created during mobilization by transformation of the military district headquarters. Below Army level the chain was the same as in peace-time; corps (or Army corps (terms used interchangeably), division, brigade, and regiment.
