		Thus in 1763 the army had been almost continuously on active service for more than too years, in the course of which its organization had been modified in accordance with the lessons of each war.
		The war of 1809 surprised Austria in the midst of her reorganization, yet the new army fought with the greatest spirit.
		It was, however, a natural result of this that the army lost to some considerable extent the spirit of the " nation in arms " of 1809 and 1813.

	The Austrian Army in 1812
		As might be expected of the most ancient and conservative of the great powers in 1812, the Austrian army was organized on principles developed for the feudal armies of the Middle Ages.
		Artillery, as in other armies like the British, had three theoretical regiments but were actually split into companies or batteries and distributed to the corps as required.
		Brigadier Gerrard of the French army is reported to have said; "I would rather face a battery of guns than a battalion of Hungarian infantry." Unfortunately the officer class was singularly inept and untrained.

	Austrian War of 1805
		The strength of the army lay in its infantry, for both cavalry and artillery were short of horses, and the latter had not yet acquired mobility and skill in maneuvering.
		The Austrians after the defeats of 1800 had endeavored to reorganize their forces on the French model, but they were soon to learn that in matters of organization the spirit is everything, the letter very little.
		The Austrians, still in their quagmire, could not push up reinforcements fast enough, and though Mack subsequently alleged deliberate obstruction and disobedience on the part of his subordinates, the state of the roads alone suffices to explain their defeat.

		Surprise, of course, was out of the question, but the Austrians did not attempt to dispute the passage, their object being to allow as many French as they felt they could deal with to pass over and then to fall on them.

	Austrian Army, 1836-66:Cavalry - by DARKO PAVLOVIC
		The huge, multi-national Austro-Hungarian army was a major factor in mid-19th century European politics.
		Sharing borders with ramshackle Ottoman Turkey and volatile Italy, the Empire was threatened both internally - by growing nationalist esentments - and externally by the ambitions of France and Prussia.
		The Imperial and Royal Army was representative of the Empire, its composition and gorgeously complex uniforms echoing the historical traditions of both German-speaking Middle Europe and the East-facing Hungarian borderlands.

	The Franco-Austrian War or Second War of Italian Unification (1859)
		The Austrian plan was to use their superior forces (the Austrian 2nd Army was approximately 140,000 strong facing the 70,000 men of the entire Piedmontese army) to crush the Sardinians before the French could intervene.
		Napoleon III had joined the Allied army in early May, assumed personal command, and decided to circle north, rather than south, of the Austrians: using the railways to accomplish the rather tricky maneuver of shifting his entire army across the front of the enemy and cross the River Ticino near Novarro.
		There, however, he ran into significant numbers of Austrians and, as both sides realised what was happening, a battle developed between Napoleon's vanguard (desperate not to be cut off on the wrong side of the river) and the Austrians: with both sides calling up reinforcements as fast as possible.
