Dette må vel være en kuriøs affære, kan noen gi meg mer informasjon om det?Loyal, disciplined, and well trained, the most effective government unit was the 8,000-man Persian Cossacks Brigade. Created in 1879 and commanded by Russian officers until the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, after which its command passed into Iranian hands, the brigade represented the core of the new Iranian armed forces. Swedish officers commanded the 8,400-man Gendarmerie (later the Imperial Gendarmerie and after 1979 the Islamic Iranian Gendarmerie), organized in 1911 as the first internal security force.
Årstallet 1911 gjorde at jeg skrev innlegget i dette forumet, moderator må gjerne vurdere om det er feilplassert.
