With 1st Army (I, V and X Corps) he achieved the first Austro-Hungarian victory of the war by defeating the Russian 4th Army at the battle of Kraśnik from 23rd to 25th August 1914 in Northern Galicia.
For the three day battle of Kraśnik, Dankl was subsequently awarded the Commanders' Cross of the Military Maria Theresa Order at the 180th Promotion on the 17th August 1917.

According to Conrad's strategic plans the 1st Army had to attack northwards, from a position on the eastern bank of the Vistula river, crossing the San river and to advance against the Russian forces which were suspected to concentrate near Lublin.
Dankl's army indeed clashed with Russian 4th Army which withdrew (battle of Krasnik, 23-25 August 1914) - this Austrian initial success made Dankl very popular and he was decorated with the Commander's cross of the Militaer-Maria-Theresien-Order and was appointed "Count of Krasnik".
During the 1914/15 winter Dankl commanded on a relatively quiet part of the Eastern front, and so his army was merely considered a reserve army for those armies fighting the bitter winter battles in the Carpathians.

Although the brigade was strengthened by additional troops from the 2nd army, the Serbian high command recognized the situation, stopped the attack against Sabac and, promptly regrouping its forces, attacked the north flank of the 5th army.
The main mistake, however, was committed in the preparation of the original plan, which foresaw the successful advance of the 5th and 6th armies on a terrain which gave all of the advantages to the defenders.
The result was as could be expected: in the Battle of Krasnik the 1st army, and in the Battle of Komarow the 4th army of the Austro-Hungarian forces defeated the Russians.
