Russian military 1804
The Russian Army
The Imperial Army is in the process of reform.  It has been taken out of the business of internal security except in the relatively newly acquired regions of the Caucasus and Poland,  many of its best officers have had the chance to study in Europe, and recruitment and administration is being rationalized.    Although a conscript force, in terms of its enlisted men, the Army, conscription is however for 20 years, and is in effect a professional army.   Recent changes have finally allowed men with the rank of corporal or higher to marry, and their wives are now paid as civilian workers (washer women, clerks, nurses, cooks etc).  Each regiment now has an established recruiting area, and so men conscripted are all from at least the same region of the country.   Another change is that now Jews, Balts, Ukrainians, and Kazakhs are subject to conscription, and although the better educated are sent to support units or assigned to the artillery or as clerks, this has had an overall effect of increasing the general education of the army.   Indeed now each regimental depot has a small school, and literacy is taught (Russian writing and basic arithmetic) and the requirement that to reach corporal or higher a man must be literate, as well as allowing for marriage and support for wives, is gradually making the Army more than a mass of manpower.

The Army also has considerable combat experience, with most officers and many of the enlisted men having served against the Chechins, Persians, Turks, Swedes and others over the last 20 years.   While not the sophisticated instrument the Germans, British or French have, it is still a force to be reckoned with and will gradually growing larger.

Russian Army- mission is to defend the Rodina from foreign invasion and expand its borders when needed

Reorganization of 1798
The Army is reorganized and divided into the following branches:
The Imperial Guard
The Cossacks
The Imperial Army

Imperial Guard – 3 depots (Moscow, St Petersburg, Kiev),4 infantry, 7 cavalry regiments (4 Foot Guards, 4 Horse Guards, Oprichnik Cossacks) 1.1 points, 11,000 men
The Cossacks- these are essentially the last of the feudal troops in the Russian Empire, consisting of 10 Cossack brigades (2.5 points) raised from the southern Steppe between the Volga, Prut and Dniester rivers. 25,000 men (militia quality)
The Imperial Army
53 depots (one for each Oblast), 53 garrison brigades organized as Home Army (5.6 points, 150,000 men)
The garrison brigades are primarily training units, organized to take in new conscripts and officer cadets, train them and then after a year send them to the armies or fortresses and they are the training organization and framework for wartime expansion

12 Fortress- Moscow, Kiev, Tallinn, Riga, Minsk, Vilnius, Sevastopol, Tblisi, Irkutsk, Chita, Kranoyarsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky for 3 points (12,000 men) 3 points
Western Army- garrison of Poland, 5 garrison brigades, 6 cavalry regiments (18,500 men) 1.1 points
Caucasus Army- garrison of North Caucasus – 4 garrison brigades, 6 cavalry regiments (16,000 men) 1 point
Southern Army – 10 garrison brigades, plus + 10 Cossack regiments when dealing with Kazakhs (35,000 men) 1.1 points

4 Naval Yards( St. Petersburg, Riga, Tallinn, Sevastopol- 2 points
Total 17.75
Organized into 3 Fleets (Baltic, Black Sea, Pacific) and 2 Squadrons (White Sea and Caspian)

Ministry of Police (Okhrana)
The militia is now made subordinate to a new service, the Okhrana (Imperial Police) which is created by merging the Imperial Gendarme with smaller and similar forces around the Empire. The Okhrana is also given responsibility for the planned road construction the Czar wants instituted. The head of the Okhrana like the head of the Army and Navy will report directly to the Czar and his first minister. Missions are as follows:
Carrying out recruitment in the Army;
Protection of the state stocks of the foodstuffs;
The customs supervision;
The maintenance and use of the toil of convicted;
Maintenance of serviceability and safety of communications;
Also, the ministry should carry out obvious and secret supervision of foreigners in Russia, carry out censorship functions.

Summer - Fall 1804
The Russian government borrows 100 points from Great Britain (at 1% interest, 25 years) and orders large quantities of arms and equipment and uniforms from British, Danish, Swedish and American contractors.

4 Expeditionary Armies are organized and conscripted over the course of the Fall, consisting of the Army of Vistula, Army of Dnieper, Army of Dniester, and Army of the Don, each with 3 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry division, 1 artillery battalion, and 1 support train. Once recruited and trained, in the Spring of 1805 they will move to their assembly positions. Plans are made to potentially mobilize additional units at the start of the year are also made.

Fall 1804
With war between France and the Germans, and Spain and the British and Turkey having mobilized, the Czar announces that war time taxes will be instituted for the upcoming year as the nation faces potential emergency

Rumors of Dutch warships entering the Baltic Sea are the final straw making the threat of war more real than ever.
