three "Landesschtzen-Regimenter" which were trained as specialist mountain infantry regiments. Additionally Landwehr infantry regiments Nr.4 and Nr.27 were also trained for mountain duties. Landwehr infantry regiments generally had in peacetime 3 field battalions as opposed to the four in a common army regiment. Landesschtzen regiments I and III had however four battalions and Landwehr Infantry Regiments Nr.23 and 27 had two each. Two redesignations of regimental names took place in January and April 1917 respectively to reflect the valour of the Austrian Landwehr: The regiments were renamed as followed:
16 January 1917 11 April 1917 11 April 1917 Landesschtzen-Regimenter I-III Landwehr Infanterie-Regimenter Landwehr Infanterie-Regimenter 4 and 27 Kaiserschtzen-Regimenter I-III Schtzen-Regimenter Gebirgsschtzen-Regimenter 1-2
Unless otherwise noted the brigades and divisions in the table are those of the Austrian Landwehr. If a regiment was assigned to a common army brigade or division on mobilisation, then that division's title is given in the table.

Austrian Landwehr Higher Formations August 1914 Just prior to mobilization in August 1914 the Austrian Landwehr was organized territorially into nine Landwehr Districts with eight Infantry Troop Divisions and three independent Cavalry Brigades. The whole organization was under the control of the Austrian Ministry of Defence in Vienna whose Minister was General der Infanterie Friedrich Freiherr von Georgi. The senior officer of the Landwehr was the "Oberkommandant" a post held by General der Infanterie Archduke Friedrich. Tactically the Landwehr formations were placed under the control of the Commanding General of the Common Army Army Corps District within which they were recruited and stationed with the exception of the Ragusa based 16th Army Corps and to all intents and purposes became a third Infantry Division of the respective Army Corps. A Landwehr Group Headquarters was thus part of each of the Army District Headquarters in which a Landwehr Division was based. At mobilization some reorganization was effected and regiments assigned to other Brigade and Divisions including formations of the Common Army. These changes can be seen on the Landwehr Infantry Page. Commanders who changed at mobilization can be seen on the August 1914 OOB pages for Galicia and Serbia. The last peacetime order of battle was as follows:
13. LITD (2.Korps) 25. LwIBrig. 26. LwIBrig. 21. LITD (8.Korps) 41. LwIBrig.
