Unnamed Occupation. The Management of Captured Territories by Austro-Hungarian Operational Units in Light of the Regulations of the Imperial-Royal Army

Summary/Abstract: This article concerns the administration of captured territories by operational units of the Imperial-Royal Army in light of normative documents regarding the functioning of the Habsburg army. Although the term Besetzung – „occupy” does not appear in the regulations, the adopted solutions fully embraced its features. This text illustrates the structure of the higher commands of the Austro-Hungarian armed forces that were responsible for the administration and organization of the captured territories. The source material relied on normative documents: the Convention Concerning the Laws and Customs of War on Land (4th Hague Convention of 1907) and the regulations in force in the Habsburg armed forces at the outbreak of the Great War. Archival materials produced by imperial-royal operational units that were active on the Eastern Front in 1914 supplement the evidence.
