russian empire as the grand duchy of finland between 1881 and 1901 the grand duchy had its own army before that several other military units had also been formed the grand duchy inherited its allotment system finnish ruotujakolaitos swedish indelningsverket from the swedish military organization however for several decades russian rulers did not require military service from finland operations and defence were mostly taken care by russian troops based in the grand duchy as a result officer benefits of the allotment system became practically pensions as payment was based on passive availability not on actual service the diet of finland made a pact with tsar alexander i finland paid a tax to russia as compensation and military service was not called this lasted until the crimean war 1854 during and after which finland set up some sharpshooter battalions based on rote system napoleonic wars edit in march 1810 tsar alexander i ordered the dissolution for 50 years of the finnish units that had been part of the swedish army at the same time the allotment system remained as the basis of finnish military organization as a result of alexander s order enlisted men were not drafted but officers non commissioned officers and military officials retained their previous benefits a senate military affairs committee was set up in 1809 to handle all matters pertaining to the allotment system 1 upon napoleon s invasion of russia in 1812 the minister secretary of state for finland in st petersburg count gustaf mauritz armfelt advocated for a recruited force of 2 400 light jäger who would operate on skis in the winter essentially in accordance with armfelt s proposals tsar alexander on 16 september 1812 ordered the establishment of three foot regiments each with a strength of 1 200 men the recruits were supposed to be volunteers but already by early october 1812 vagabonds and men without legal employment were being impressed into service in the regiments the mission of these forces was to defend finland but they could also be sent to defend other baltic areas 2 finnish jaeger regiment finnish infantry regiment 1826 in 1819 the following military units

separate finnish army battalions underwent a series of disbandments concluding with that of the guards sharpshooters battalion this was part of the political oppression years which saw a downgrading of the autonomous status of the grand duchy within the russian empire the original intention was that finnish recruits would continue to serve but in regular russian units of the imperial russian army stationed elsewhere this however met with widespread opposition with under half of the conscripts called for service in 1902 reporting for training accordingly conscription in finland was terminated
