The Serfdom Cossacks of Western Siberia were formed in 1725, when the Governor of Siberia, Prince Dolgoruky, composed the staff of the Siberian fortresses. Since then, the Cossacks were the responsibility of the chief of the Siberian line. According to a Regulation of 1808, the Siberian linear Cossack army was subordinate to the chief of the main forces in Siberia in terms of military activity, and in terms of civil activity to the provincial authorities and the Siberian governor-general.
In 1816, a separate Siberian Corps was formed of the troops stationed in Siberia, so that the Siberian Cossacks gained a new military chief in the corps commander.
According to the position of the linear Siberian Cossack Army (1808), the highest administrative and executive body of the Siberian Cossack troops became the Branch Office [Voyskovaya Kantseliariya], renamed in 1846 as the military administration of the Siberian Cossack troops and in 1869 as the military economic governance. It consisted of a common office, departments and the Office itself, and was in charge of all affairs of the troops and the social economy. The board of military hardware was made up of five special departments (land surveying, forestry, agriculture, mining and medical), headed by specialists, and three common offices, which were in charge of office administration. The principal issues were discussed at the common office. In April 1917 the military and economic administration of the Cossacks Army was abolished and its functions transferred to the Army council.
