The Society of Habsburg Monarchy Military Frontier was dependent on the proper military organization and fulfilment of the obligations of its members. In other words, the main territorial-administrative units of the Military Frontier (companies and regiments) had their own representatives who were the higher and lower ranking military personnel and had the same prerogatives as the elite of any “local society”. Historical sources contain information about the officers’ origin, economic status and their formal (military) and informal (social and cultural) roles in the Frontier society. The topic of our interest in this paper, however, is the role of central government, represented in Hofkriegsrath in Vienna, in army cadre (re)structuring in the Banat Military Frontier. We will address the central government’s assignment and disposition of frontier officers, and how they were regarded by Vienna. Their double role – of representatives in local society and of government servants was gradually changed, the second becoming more prominent in time
