Asakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediye

After the Janissary Corps, which was outdated and could not adapt to the times, was abolished with the Auspicious Incident (June 15, 1826), Sultan Mahmud II ordered the establishment of Asakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediye (Victorious Soldiers of the Prophet Muhammad).

[4] After this date, Sultan Mahmud II accelerated his reform efforts and started to establish schools and institutions to support the new army.

In 1912, the uniforms of the ocak were changed and finally in 1920, the Ottoman army joined the Turkish National Movement.

After May 3, 1920, Mansure Army officers and soldiers began to join the Turkish Government of the Grand National Assembly.

Alemdar Mustafa oversaw the reformation of the new army, placed new regulations on the Janissaries, and sought to strengthen ties between the center and the periphery of the empire by requesting that notables obey the central government.

The Janissaries killed Alemdar Mustafa, lynched reformist leaders, and forced Mahmud II to abolish the new army.

The state began recruitment for a new European-style army, the Asakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediye (Victorious Troops of Muhammad).

[11] In addition to infantry training, the new army developed regular cavalry squadrons which adopted the methods of Hungarian Hussars.

[11] In addition, the Ottomans sent cadets abroad to study at military institutions in Paris, London, Vienna, and Berlin.
