The Beginning of The Reform
Military settlements were introduced by Alexander I for the purpose of creating a reserve of trained military forces. The first military settlement was established by Count Alexei Arakcheyev in 1810 in the Klimovichi uyezd of the Mogilev guberniya. The organization of military settlements had been underway on a large scale since 1816. In 1817, Count Arakcheyev was officially appointed head of all the military settlements in Russia.
