	Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Democratic Federative Yugoslavia was constituted at the AVNOJ or the Anti-Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia conference in Jajce (November 29 - December 4, 1943) while negotiations with the royal government in exile continued.
		Like the Kingdom of Yugoslavia that preceded it, the SFRY bordered Italy and Austria to the northwest, Hungary to the northeast, Romania and Bulgaria to the east, Greece to the south, Albania to the southwest, and the Adriatic Sea to the west.
		Yugoslavia used to be described as a country with seven neighbouring countries, six republics, five languages, four nations, three religions, two alphabets and one party.

	Yugoslavia
		Yugoslavia formed in 1918 as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, renamed the "Kingdom of Yugoslavia" in 1929.
		This situation is now resolved, with the admission of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to the United Nations in 2000.
		On February 4, 2003 the federal parliament of Yugoslavia dissolved the country and agreed to create a loose commonwealth of the remaining two states within a union.

	Gen Wesley Clark - From Waco to Yugoslavia
		It is this: No military commander "lends" 17 pieces of armor and 15 active service personnel under his command to anybody, let alone the FBI or any other law enforcement agency, willingly.
		In a lawful operation, the command structure would have been publicly announced, but since the involvement of the military in Waco was entirely illegal and indefensible, it was necessary to paint the situation as an FBI operation.
		In other words, military personnel looked the compound over, drew up attack plans, created a training program for the ATF agents, and then, one would assume, were there on the day of the raid - along with the local news cameras which had been tipped off in advance - to watch the thing go down.

	US military uses Yugoslavia as testing ground for high-tech weaponry
		Military planners are also anxious to test out US military forces in a new terrain, and fighting a new enemy, in Yugoslavia.
		At the same time, US military commanders know that a "bloodying" of the troops is essential for the type of sustained conflicts that are being planned for the future.
		Another element of the attack on Yugoslavia is the desire of military officials to condition the American public to accept massive civilian casualties.

		In particular, Yugoslavia was considered to be pushing too fast towards unification with Bulgaria and Albania; although following Stalin's proposal for a series of such unifications, Tito was seen to be proceeding without proper consultation with Moscow.
		As a result, Yugoslavia fell outside of the Soviet sphere of influence, and the country's brand of Communism, with its independence from the Soviet line, was called Titoism by Moscow and considered treasonous.
		Although in 1945 Zone B of Venezia Giulia encompassed the vast territory between the frontier established by the Treaty of Rapallo and the Morgan line, the Italian population on the territory administered by the Slovene authorities was dense only along the coast, whereas the population in the hinterland was prevalently Slovene.

	SPECOPS OF YUGOSLAVIA
		Yugoslavia has a long tradition of operating its Forces of Special Designation: the first four units of Special Task-Force, known as "komite" were formed by the Royal Serbian Supreme Command back in 1912, shortly before commencement of the war with Turkey.
		The idea was to provide each of the 5 Armies of Yugoslavia with a unit of special deployment, while the sixth assault battalion was submitted to the Yugoslavian Supreme Command.
		When the German air descent was dropped on Yugoslavia on 6th April 1941, the 1-st Yugoslav Assault Battalion was the first to oppose the enemy.

		By 1986, having steadily increased since the 1970s, the percentage of military leaders in the Central Committee was greater than the percentage of military personnel in the total population.
		Were the LCY and civilian government unable to solve longstanding problems, the YPA might be seen as the last effective, cohesive force in Yugoslavia, intervening in politics to ensure the survival of the state.
		A military coup against the LCY was considered unlikely, however, because the YPA was too well integrated into the LCY and the process of government.

		Yugoslavia also relied quite heavily on older recoilless artillery and anti-tank launchers in the past, but these have not had much of a profile in media reports on the fighting, leading to the assumption that many had been retired and replaced by more modern rocket and missile launchers.
		The Serbian TDF was a militia/partisan structure under the TND concept which dominated Yugoslavian military structures for several decades and the TDF's role was to assist in the defence of Serbia against foreign invasion.
		The political splintering of the Croatian military forces meant that there were several unofficial Croatian paramilitary forces operating as irregulars through the course of the war.

		For example, Reuters claimed Yugoslavia was "established in 1929 as a royal dictatorship," though the kingdom itself had been in existence since 1918, and in 1929 merely changed the name.
		Yugoslavia was thus organized into Soviet-style 'republics' with no more sovereignty or legitimacy than their USSR counterparts.
		From its very inception, Yugoslavia had been a flawed creation, a grandiose experiment in both nation-building and social engineering, doomed to failure by simple truths of history and human nature.

	LP News May 1999 - LP critiques U.S. government's "unprovoked" war in Yugoslavia
		In three press releases and a dozen media interviews, spokespeople for the Libertarian Party voiced opposition to the NATO bombardment, called for immediate U.S. military withdrawal from the region, and said the conflict represented a potential Vietnam-style morass for American ground troops and made the U.S. less safe.
		In addition, the military strike is dangerous and alarming because it opens the floodgates to unlimited foreign intervention by the U.S. government, he said.
		According to Pentagon officials, the round-the-clock air strikes on Yugoslavia have so depleted the U.S. military arsenal that many military units are short of supplies -- and the Air Force is planning to borrow equipment and spare parts from units in the U.S. to keep the jets flying in Yugoslavia.

	Is Military Readiness Overrated?
		Military readiness promises to be a major issue when Congress marks up a defense bill later this year.
		At the same time, major structural changes were transforming the U.S. military, including the introduction of women into the regular forces, the switch from a draft to an all-volunteer force and the initiation of the Total Force Concept that placed more reliance on the Reserves.
		Military readiness is certainly important, and no one is suggesting a return to the truly shallow force of the late 1940s or the Hollow Force of the 1970s.

	Yugoslavia's Military Shopping List? [Free Republic]
		In addition, Yugoslavia may be considering the purchase of up to three squadrons (30 aircraft) of Su-30MK fighter aircraft with extended ground attack capability from Russia.
		Yugoslavia's interest in Su-30MK is not only in its capability to carry long-range air-to-ground missiles but also in its advanced air-to-air radar and capability of carrying long-range air-to-air missiles.
		Yugoslavia has only about 70 M77 Oganj 128-mm medium-range MLRS systems, so there may be a need to acquire a number of Grad mobile MLRS systems from Russia, which should not the problem considering the low cost of this system.

	Washingtonpost.com: The U.S. Military in Yugoslavia
		In general, the international civilian community is just adequately organized to deal with these crisis and because of that, I would argue, they actually end up ceding a lot of power to the military--which is organized by nature and on the ground in huge numbers and with unparalleled amounts of equipment.
		The military complains about having to take on these tasks and I think their complaints are genuine because it "costs" delays the return of their troops and it is not inherently the kind of missions they like.
		I think the contingency plan can be found within the "military technical agreement." As far as I know, there is not a plan to quickly shuttle in more than the 50,000 troops planned for the peacekeeping deployment.

		The Bosnian government have pleaded for military intervention under the auspices of any body willing to mount such an intervention and with goals ranging from escorting relief convoys or opening Sarajevo airport to disarming the former JNA and the paramilitaries.
		The world's response to the conflicts raging in Yugoslavia could be a prototype for the response to conflicts which may arise in other areas of disintegration.
		Therefore we are alarmed by the proposals to establish multinational rapid deployment forces to mount military ´peacemaking' interventions.

		The 'invitation' extended o the Government of Yugoslavia by the 'Contact Group" (USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy and Russia) took the "form of an ultimatum"; it was "threatened with military reprisals should it refuse to present itself".
		The military provisions of the Accord were in effect an ultimatum to the Government of Yugoslavia with a conditional declaration of war, a violation of the Hague Convention.

	Zoltan Grossman: War and New US Military Bases
		The new U.S. military bases were not merely built to aid the interventions, but the interventions also conveniently afforded an opportunity to station the bases.
		The U.S. military interventions cannot all be tied to the insatiable U.S. thirst for oil (or rather for oil profits), even though many of the recent wars do have their roots in oil politics.
		The new U.S. military bases, and increasing control over oil supplies, can in turn be tied to the historical shift taking place since the 1980s: the rise of European and East Asian blocs that have the potential to replace the United States and Soviet Union as the world's economic superpowers.

	Bombing Yugoslavia
		Lastly, establishment of criteria needs to recognize that use of the nation’s military forces should be considered a "last resort" because of two critical reasons: First, it is a rational national desire to conserve American "blood and treasure" of its perishable military strength.
		Because of the potentially devastating and long-term consequences of using military force, use of such force in a hostile manner should be arguably a last resort in the overwhelming majority of foreseeable situations.
		In large part, once a nation decides to commit a military campaign against another nation, the other sources of national power are generally "sidelined," until the military situation is exploited and culmination is reached on one side or both.
