Yugoslavia JNA Order of Battle 1990

[Dragoner]

Hello forumers,

I'm interested in the cold war military history and working on an OOB of former JNA for some months now. What came out till now you can find at www.tank-net.org forums in the Military History section (topic "Jugoslavenska Narodna Armija"). Direct link:

http://63.99.108.76/forums/index.php?showtopic=23296

and you can have a free download of the OOB here: http://rapidshare.de/files/38442900/JNA_OOB.pdf.html or here: www.megaupload.com/?d=733OMNXX

I'm interested in the time before the breakup of the state. According to the "Jedinstvo" plan, JNA underwent a fundamental transformation in the late 80's. In 1990 the first and most important phase of the reorganization was finished (e.g. with the establishment of the 10th Corps at Zagreb and the downsizing of TO).

The OOB still is incomplete in many ways. I hope to find some expertise here.

Thank's in advance

JNA-structure just before the end of Yugoslavia

Dear Dragoner,

many thanks for sharing your highly interesting study with us .

Besides our native experts here at GMIC, you might also try to consult the experts at the "Military Museum" in Belgrade:

It's like our museum here in Vienna - the HGM - part of the Serbian Forces, so they sould have access to all informations.

Best regards

My experience with official serbian sources says it isn't worth to try it. Most stuff still is classified. And they are all in fear of ICTY too.

Dear Dragoner,

the fact is, that all the archives and other sources are located in Belgrad, so you have to deal primarly with the military historians in Serbia. Usually - if adressed in the right way - these people are very kind.

I can't imagine, that the JNA OoB of the year 1990 is still classified and the structure of the JNA before the YU-wars of the 1990s doesn't touch ICTY, The Hague, at all, I guess .

Try it !

Another proposal: Look around among the GMIC-members from Ex-YU, who post frequently here in the YU-section. Some of them might help you further.

Best regards
