The 15th Don Cossack Regiment was the direct heir to the Don Cossack Karpov Regiment, which was formed in the mid 1820s of the XIX century and took part in the Caucasus campaigns against the Persians in 1826-1828 and against the Turks in 1828-1829 .
For the first time, the Don Cossack Regiment under No. 15 was formed on May 26, 1835 on the basis of a new regulation on the Don Cossack Army . Periodically, this regiment was convened and disbanded for a benefit, its current number also changed (depending on the free number of the regiment at the time of convocation). In addition to the number in the name of the regiment, it was also supposed to mean the name of his current commander.
