Hi Günter,
It depends which specific period we are concerned with, and the 'unit size' you're referring to, however for the post-1810 period, Mark Conrad's translation of Viskovatov (
http://marksrussianmilitaryhistory.info ... tore.htm#1) summarizes as follows, which may help, particularly at number '8' below:
"12 October 1810– Regiments of Army infantry were ordered to make the following changes in their organization:
1.) In each Grenadier regiment (except the Life-Grenadiers), instead of one Grenadier and two Fusilier battalions, there were to be three Fusilier battalions, of one Grenadier and three Fusilier companies.
2.) In each Musketeer regiment, instead of one Grenadier and two Musketeer battalions, there were to be three Musketeer battalions, of one Grenadier and three Musketeer companies.
3.) In each Jäger regiment the battalions were to consist of one Grenadier and three Musketeer companies.
4.) In each Fusilier, Musketeer, and Jäger battalion, the senior, or Grenadier, company was to be made up of grenadiers and marksmen [strelki], so that the grenadiers are in the first platoon [
vzvod] and marksmen in the second.
5.) When regiments are in battle formation, the 1st, or Grenadier, platoon of the Grenadier company was to deploy on the right flank of its battalion, while the 2nd, or Marksmen [
Strelkovyi] platoon, was to be on the left.
6.) During wartime, when regiments move out on campaign, the Fusilier, Musketeer, and Jäger companies of the second battalions, having been used to fill up the other two battalions, were to remain in their quarters and were to be termed Replacement [
Zapasnyi] battalions.
7.) The Grenadier companies of second battalions were to set out on campaign with the first and third battalions.
8.) When all six regiments of a division were united together, the Grenadier companies of their second battalions were to form for it two Combined Grenadier Battalions [
Svodnye Grenaderskie bataliony], each of three companies.
9.) In each Corps [
Korpus], the Combined Grenadier Battalions were to form a Combined Grenadier Brigade [Svodnaya Grenaderskaya brigada] and be the Reserve [
Rezerv] of this Corps.
10.) In an Army [
Armiya], the Combined Grenadier Brigades of its Corps were to form a Combined Grenadier Division [
Svodnaya Grenaderskaya diviziya] and be its Reserve."
Hope that helps!
