The Army of Yugoslavia (Serbian: Војска Југославије - ВЈ, Vojska Jugoslavije - VJ) was the name of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which existed from May 20, 1992 to 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 army changed its name to Military of Serbia and Montenegro (Serbian: Војска Србије и Црне Горе - ВСЦГ, Vojska Srbije i Crne Gore - VSCG). The Yugoslav Army 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. From 1992-2003, the Yugoslav Military was a very well equipped and trained force.

Organization

The Yugoslav Army was organized in three main branches; Ground forces, Air Force and Air Defense and Navy. There were also units under the direct command of the Yugoslav Army General Staff which were independent from commands of three main branches.
