Summary/Abstract: The article shows the importance of the fiscal and military sources kept in the Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw for presenting the state of the Crown army in 1648–1652. They make it possible to determine the organisation, structure, and numbers of individual units of both national and foreign regiments, and present their commanders and the costs incurred by the Commonwealth for their upkeep. The documents contained in particular sections of the Crown Treasury Archives make it possible to reconstruct the officer and non-commissioned officer cadres of the Crown army being paid for their service at particular fiscal and military commissions, whose members do not appear in any lexicons and dictionaries of officers and whose registers and rolls of the units in which they served are not to be found in section 86.
