With the announcement by General Lucjan Żeligowski of the establishment of Central Lithuania, the army which he commanded and which participated in the Żeligowski's Mutiny automatically became the Army of Central Lithuania. It was reincorporated into Polish Army in 1922 following the Poland's annexation of Central Lithuania.
After the seizure of Vilnius, the Supreme Commander of the Army of Central Lithuania, General Żeligowski, ordered the troops to advance to the line: Trakai-Kraso (in Polish) (?)- Rykantai and Bendoriai- Riešė- Paraudondvariai.
