Summary/Abstract: The subject of military service in the middle of 19th century in Transylvania hadn’t been, with few exceptions, in the aria of interest of Romanian historians, even if it constituted a complex phenomenon of Transylvanian society in those days, having many implications and repercussions. The consequences after the revolutionary years 1848-1849 felt at a legislative level and in the military, aiming many times but without success the reformation of the army by stipulations which wanted to be progressive. They hadn’t had the expected results, as it hadn’t happened regarding the recruitment and incorporation of young people, fit for military service. As it will be noticed, the legislative actions which were undertaken, including those during the three wars of this period, in which was engaged the Habsburg Empire, remained tributary to previous periods, quantitative and not qualitative.
