Abstract: (ENG) After the integration of Dobrudja in the Romanian state (1878), military companies were founded in the Romanian army, recruited from the region and made up of ethnic Turks and Tatars, companies which provided a certain specificity to the Romanian military system in Dobrudja. They functioned to the end of the First World War. This article, built on archive documents, deals with the military companies made up of Turks and Tartars. Among the features of these military units, there is also the framing of a representative of the Muslim religion.
