In 1814, a new law replaced the old system, mandating three years of service and two years in reserve for men over 20.
The Cabinet Order of 9 February 1813 was rescinded on 27 May 1814, but the old regiment-based system was not reintroduced. On 3 September 1814, the Gesetz über die Verpflichtung zum Kriegsdienst was introduced, compelling all men over 20 to serve three years in the army and two in reserve.
