The 19th century was a century of great developments and changes for the Ottoman Empire. Almost all the basic institutions of the state were reformed. And the Ottoman army was no exception. The Ottoman State, until 1826, worked on issues such as the recruitment, the reorganization of military education, war technologies and strived to reorganize its military. In 1826, Janissary Quarry was abolished, the existing military traditions were abandoned, and a new military order and education system was adopted. The military void that occurred after the abolition of the Janissary Quarry was filled with Asâkir-i Mansûrei Muhammedîyye which was established as a well-trained and regular army in European style. The formation of the new army has been a long and difficult process. There were many problems regarding the assimilation of the old army to the new one, the reorganization of the military educational system, the selection of the training experts and the budget. In this study, we discussed the foreign experts of the Asakir-i Mansure using the archives and literature, we discussed from which countries these experts were recruited, which officers were commissioned, the training system adopted by these experts, and the effect of this on the Turkish education system.
