伊朗卡扎尔王朝素有军事改革传统,但直到1879年,俄国军事使团赴伊之前的军事改革都收效甚微。俄国人建立起的伊朗哥萨克旅在19世纪末20世纪初的伊朗政局中发挥着重要作用,但该旅团实质上是沙俄加强其在伊朗影响力的重要工具。十月革命后,白俄军官控制旅团,并以伊朗为对抗苏俄的前沿阵地。但1920年秋,旅团转而由英国人控制,并于1921年底被整合进新建的国民军队中。 The Iranian Qajar dynasty was known as a military reform tradition, but it was not until 1879 that the military reforms by the Russian military missions to Iraq were ineffective. The Iranian Cossacks, established by the Russians, played an important role in Iran’s political situation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but the brigade was essentially an important tool for Russia to strengthen its influence in Iran. After the October Revolution, Belarusian officers controlled the brigade and took Iran as the front line against the Soviet Union. However, in the fall of 1920, the brigade was turned over to British control and integrated into the new national army by the end of 1921.
