After graduating from the military school of officers with the rank of second lieutenant, Cocorăscu held various positions in the infantry units or in the upper echelons of the army, the most important being the commander of the 40th Infantry Regiment and head of Section 1 of the General Staff. He was promoted to the rank of colonel on June 25, 1906. At the mobilization of the army at the beginning of World War I, Cocorăscu was recalled to active duty, fulfilling the functions of commander of the 21st Infantry Brigade, between August 14 to August 27 and September 6 to September 19, 1916 and he was commander of the 11th Infantry Division, between September 6 to 19 and November 25 to December 8, 1916.
