The Military of Yugoslavia (Serbian: Војска Југославије - ВЈ, Vojska Jugoslavije - VJ) was the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which existed from May 20, 1992 till February 4 2003.

It was created from the remnants of the Yugoslav People's Army. After the establishment of the loosely federated state of Serbia and Montenegro, which replaced the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the military changed its name to Military of Serbia and Montenegro. The VJ was heavily involved in combating the separatist Kosovo Liberation Army and Liberation Army of Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac during the Kosovo War and Preševo Valley conflict, and it was also on the front lines of the war with NATO during the 1999 NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Organization

The Military of Yugoslavia was organized into three branches; Ground forces, Air Force and the Navy.
