The Yugoslav Ground Forces (Serbo-Croatian: ''Kopnena Vojska'' – KoV, Cyrillic script: Копнена Војска – КоВ) was the ground forces branch of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) from 1 March 1945 until 20 May 1992 when it became the Ground Forces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under the threat of sanctions. ==History== The origins of JNA can be found in the Yugoslav Partisan units of World War II. As a part of the antifascist People's Liberation War of Yugoslavia, the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia (NOVJ), a predecessor of JNA, was formed on 22 December 1941 in the town of Rudo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the liberation of the country from the Axis Powers occupation, that date was officially celebrated as the ''Day of the Army'' in the SFR Yugoslavia. In March 1945, the NOVJ was renamed the Yugoslav Army (''Jugoslovenska Armija'') and finally on its 10th anniversary on 22 December 1951, received the adjective ''People's'' (i.e. ''Narodna'').〔p.202, Trifunovska〕 In September 1968 the Territorial Organization was formed to support the JNA and on 21 February 1974 TO units were subordinated to their provinces or republics. Thus the JNA and TO became equal parts of the Yugoslav Armed Forces (Oruzane Snage SFRJ). IAW the 1974 Yugoslav Constitution the Land Forces were divided into six armies allocated to the five republics: * First Army (Belgrade) – Northern Serbia and Vojvodina * Second Army (Niš) – Southern Serbia and Kosovo * Third Army (Skopje) – Macedonia * Fifth Army (Zagreb) – Croatia * Seventh Army (Sarajevo) – Bosnia-Herzegovina * Ninth Army (Ljubljana) – Slovenia * * Included II Corps (Titograd) Plus the Coastal Naval District (Split) – formerly Fourth Army Tensions between the JNA and the To became evident at the political situation in Yugoslavia deteriorated in the 1980s. The Federal government became concerned that Yugoslavia's constituent republics would use the TO to facilitate their secession from Yugoslavia and therefore disarmed the Kosovo TO of 130,000 members. In 1988 the JNA absorbed the entire TO with the Bosnian Serb General Blagoje Adzic becoming the JNA Chief of the Armed Forces General Staff. In 1988 the armies were reorganized into Military Districts or Regions which no longer corresponded to internal borders thereby making it harder for the republics to control their own forces. Apart from the Proletarian Guard, a mechanized corps, the Land Forces infantry divisions were reorganized into 17 Corps each consisting of four to eight brigades. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yugoslav Ground Forces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
