Abstract
In the article, on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of sources, the uniform, armament and equipment of dragoons of the Siberian Dragoon garrison regiment during the campaign of I.D. Buchholz 1715-1716 is reconstructed. It was established that the Siberian dragoons wore a green uniform with red cuffs, red doublets and trousers. One of the varieties of caps ("carpuses") was probably used as a headdress. Widespread use of "cocked hats" is unlikely. The main type of remote combat weapons of dragoons were fusees and, possibly, carbines. Broadswords were used in close combat. The collected materials made it possible to recreate the appearance of the Siberian dragoon of the beginning of the XVIII century.
