Summary/Abstract: The Ottoman Empire attached great importance to the protection of the border castles and had various classes in military forts in these castles. A part of these classes were genuine Janissaries who got a salary from the state on a quarterly basis and used to be soldiers coming from the “Utilization System”. Also there were permanent Native Janissaries who wanted to benefit from the honour and concession of this class and were obtained from the premises where the castle had been located. While the military situation in the Hasan Castle was put forth, accounting books – a kind of military analysis and called Mevacib – were used and the Native Janissaries, the Military Officers in the Hasan Castle in 18th century were compared with the others in different castles in terms of the population and the income they got.
