The objective of the mass levy troops was to reach the town of Beresteczko (Berestechko), where one of the heaviest battles would take place during the Bohdan Khmelnytsky uprising begun in 1648. The voivodships (provinces) of Poznan and Kalisz also took part in the expedition. Supervision over its organization in the Kalisz voivodship was the responsibility of the Kalisz castellan Jakub Rozdrażewski, who substituted for the Kalisz voivode (governor) Andrzej Karol Grudziński. When assembling the nobility in the Kalisz poviat (district), the castellan decided to divide them into several groups. Command of one of them was taken by Władysław Gądkowski. The castellan himself also joined the assembled force. During the stopover near Lublin, the muster of Gądkowski’s group was held in the field near the town. The signature register listed 109 mass levy members.
