Adlercreutz was commissioned as an officer in 1890 and was assigned as a underlöjtnant to the Life Guards of Horse (K 1) where he was promoted to lieutenant in 1896. Adlercreutz served as regimental quartermaster from 1904 to 1906 and as a teacher at the Swedish Army Riding and Horse-Driving School in Strömsholm from 1906 to 1908.[2] The same year he was promoted to ryttmästare. Adlercreutz was military attaché in Berlin from 1912 to 1918 and was major in Scanian Dragoon Regiment (K 6) in 1914.[2]
He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1917 and to colonel in 1918 and at the same time appointed commanding officer of Småland Hussar Regiment (K 4) in 1918. Adlercreutz was then commanding officer of the Scanian Dragoon Regiment from 1921 to 1927. He retired from the army the year after.[3] In parallel to his military career, he also served as secretary of Stockholm Field Riding Club and as a judge at Ulriksdal's Racecourse.[4]
In 1896 he married Ebba Cederschiöld (born 1873), the daughter of major Henrik Cederschiöld and Amelie Sterky.[6] Adlercreutz and his wife had four children, including the son Gregor, who also became an Olympic equestrian.[4]
