Description
Summary:In period between two wars against Ottoman Empire (1677–1683) Crown (Polish) troops were stationed in set-up quarters on the Polish-Turkish border. Main idea behind it was to defend new borders – after losing Podolia to Turks – but also to protect civilian population from the troops stationed (and subsequently marching into the theater of war) in other parts of the country. It was the first time when such system of regular military barracks was introduced. Moreover, soldiers stationed there were required to produce food for themselves. Such picture, drawn from the diaries written during the period, require though further confirmation or verification, especially based on further research of the archives in Lviv and Minsk. W okresie między dwiema wojnami Rzeczypospolitej z Imperium Osmańskim (1677–1683) wojsko koronne zajmowało stałe kwatery na pograniczu polsko-tureckim. Celem żołnierzy była ochrona nowych granic – po oddaniu Turcji Podola – i oszczędzenie ludności cywilnej przed przemarszami oraz stacjonowaniem wojska w głębi kraju. W ten sposób utworzono pierwszy system koszar wojskowych, a żołnierze sami trudnili się produkcją żywności na własne potrzeby. Ten utrwalony w pamiętnikach z epoki obraz wymaga jednak potwierdzenia lub weryfikacji, przede wszystkim w oparciu o zespoły archiwalne ze Lwowa i Mińska.
