Regiment Formation and Campaigns
The regiment dates back to August 20, 1798, when a two-battalion musketeer regiment named after him was formed in Yaroslavl by Major General Leitner . The following year, he was renamed the Musketeer Major General Mansurov regiment and he was granted 10 banners, the number of companies in the regiment. Each battalion of the regiment consisted of four musketeers and one grenadier company. There was artillery in the regiment: one 12-pound unicorn and four 6-pound guns.

On March 29, 1801, the regiment was named the Saratov Musketeer Regiment and in 1803 it was sent to the Caucasus , on the coast of the Kuban , to protect the border from attacks by mountaineers.

In the detachment of Prince Tsitsianov , under the command of Colonel Spiridonov, the regiment took part in the battle with the hordes of Abbas-Mirza on June 20, 1804 and in the victorious assault on Erivani on July 2 of the same year. The regiment was especially distinguished under the personal leadership of its chief, Major General Nesvetayev, in the battle on the Arpachay river on July 18, 1807 and during the siege of Akhaltsykh in November 1809.
In 1810, October 19, the regiment was renamed the 46th Jaeger Regiment, and in 1816, February 12, the 17th Jaeger Regiment. In 1819, the regiment was replaced in the Caucasus by the 41st ranger and recalled to Russia, and, by order of General Ermolov , the regiments changed No. and the previous 41st changed to the distinction of the former 41st: a campaign for military distinction granted The Musketeer Major General Mansurov regiment for the battle of Torton with the French on June 16, 1799.

In 1828, the 17th (46th) Jaeger regiment took part in the war with Turkey , and on May 27, its 2nd battalion (the 1st remained in Russia), under the command of Colonel Lapp 1st , in the presence of Emperor Nicholas I , under strong enemy fire, crossed the Danube and stormed the fortified positions on the banks of the Danube, for which he received the St. George flag with the inscription "For crossing the Danube on May 27, 1828." Then, being at the head of the advance detachment of General Prince Madatov , the regiment participated in the occupation of the Isakchi and Girsov fortress and during the siege of Silistra . For this campaign, the regiment received signs for hats with the inscription "For Distinction" (April 6, 1830).
Upon the abolition of the Jäger regiments on January 28, 1833, all three battalions were annexed to the Bryansk Infantry Regiment . In 1863, three battalions of the Bryansk regiment went to the formation of the Vyazemsky infantry regiment , in which the seniority of the old Saratov musketeer regiment and insignia of the 46th (17th) jaeger regiment, formed on August 20, 1798, were preserved.
