Temporary Units, so-called "-männing" regiments - Cavalry

9. Temporary Units - Cavalry

Introduction

In order to strengthen the Army at time of war a great number of "extra" regiments were established. An example of those regiments is the so-called "-männing" regiments. During The Great Nordic War (1700 - 1721) a number of "Three-männing" (tremänningsregementen) regiments were established as early as in 1700. Normally the "Rote"-farmers only had to provide one infantry soldier to the Army and every "rusthåll" had to provide one cavalryman with a horse to the Cavalry. Three-männing regiments meant that three "rotar" together had to provide an extra soldier (besides the regular soldiers they had to provide). These extra soldiers were meant to be a reserve back home when the regular soldiers were mobilized and away from the home county. So the purpose of the three-männing regiments were to protect Sweden when the regular regiments were abroad. The three-männing regiments were not supposed to be sent abroad. However, the extra units were also used to strengthen the field Army. Sometimes the extra soldiers also were used to replace killed soldiers in the regular regiments. Both four- and five-männing regiments were established in 1702. In four-männing regiments 4 "rotar" togeter provided an extra soldier and in five-männing regiments 5 "rotar" together provided an extra soldier. This was of course beside their duty to provide the ordinary soldier of the "rote". The five-männing regiments were established in the provinces where the ordinary provincial regiment was serving in war zones. The four-männing regiments were established in the few provinces where the ordinary provincial regiment still was quartered at home. Three-männing regiments were established once again in 1710, both infantry and cavalry. In 1718 both three- and five-männing regiments were established.

Reserve soldiers - the "Vargering"

The männing-regiments were first of all extra units being established at wartime. However they were not really reserve soldiers to be used as replacement of killed soldiers in the ordinary regiments. The system of providing reserve soldiers was called "vargering" or "varjering". This was soldiers recruited by each "rote" as a reserve for the ordinary soldier of the "rote" in war time (to be used if the ordinary soldier got killed). If the ordinary soldier got killed, the "rote"-farmer had to provide a replacement soldier. If he didn't manage this the farmer often had to dress in uniform him self. It wasn't easy to find a reserve in times of war. So it was in the interest of the "rote" farmers to have a reserve soldier ready. It was very common that it is was a son of the ordinary soldier of the "rote" who was the reserve soldier.

About the so-called “Männing” Regiments

Normally these temporally regiments didn't have the same number of soldiers as the regular regiments. They were also often consolidated with other regiments when the number of soldiers decreased.

However, the temporally regiments were given a name corresponding to the name of the province where the majority of the soldiers were recruited.

Stånd - ståndsperson

A few of the temporally regiments has the word "stånd" in their regimental names, for example the "Stånd" Dragoons. Those regiments were raised by wealthy persons of rank (ståndsperson). By persons of rank you normally mean the nobility, estate owners or well-off townspeople. The Clergy Dragoons (prästdragoner) were provided by the clergy. The Mountain Regiment (Bergsregementet) was organized into 8 companies and established in mining areas. The regiment was a temporally unit and was established only when needed.

The soldiers were recruited in the provinces of Närke, Västmanland, Värmland, Dalarna, Södermanland, Östergötland, Västergötland and Småland. All of those provinces were mining districts. A few of the temporally regiments were later reorganized into regular or permanent regiments. These regiments then received names after the names of their Colonels.
