Military career Brudermann began his military training at the Kadettenanstalt (Cadet Institute) in Marburg an der Drau and then, as his two older brothers had done previously, entered the Theresian Military Academy in Wiener Neustadt in 1869. In 1874 he completed his studies at the academy and entered service as a Leutnant (lieutenant) with Uhlan Regiment No. 1.

First World War After World War I began with Austria-Hungary's declaration of war on Serbia on 28 July 1914, Brudermann remained the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division. In June 1916, while retaining command of the division, he also became the commanding officer of Cavalry Corps Brudermann, which was established that month. It suffered terrible losses in combat and was disbanded in August 1916. In October 1916, again while remaining in command of the 3rd Cavalry Division, he raised a new Cavalry Corps Brudermann, but it was disbanded in November 1916, again due to heavy losses. His deteriorating health forced him to give up his command of the 3rd Cavalry Division at the end of 1916 and to apply for retirement, which was approved in March 1917. He retired with the rank of General der Kavallerie mit Titel und Charakter ("general of the cavalry with title and character").
