 | | The regimental starshyna consisted of a colonel (polkovnyk), a quartermaster/artillery commander (oboznyj), a judge (suddya), a chancellor (pysar), and aide-de camp (osavul, the colonel's closest aide), and a flag bearer (khorunzhyj). |
 | | The regimental colonel was assisted by his senior staff, which included an oboznyj, a suddya, a pysar, one or two osavuly, and one or two khorunzhi. |
 | | The regimental chancellery was initially only a secretarial apparatus, but in the 18th century it served as a collegial administrative body that included the colonel and other regimental officers. |
