Army of Republika Srpska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Army of Republika Srpska (
Serbian:
Војска
Републике
Српске
(ВРС);
Serbian,
Bosnian,
Croatian Vojska Republike Srpske
(
VRS)) also referred to as the
Bosnian Serb
Army, was the
military of today's
Republika Srpska which was then the "Serbian
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina", a self-proclaimed state within
the internationally recognized territory of the sovereign
Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Starting in 2003 the army began to integrate into
the
Armed Forces of
Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2005 a fully integrated unit of
Serbs, Bosniaks, and Croats was deployed to help out the U.S.-led
coalition forces in
Iraq.

On June 6, 2006 it was fully integrated into Armed Forces of Bosnia
and Herzegovina controlled by the Ministry of Defence of
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
HISTORY
It was founded on May 12, 1992 from the army of the former
Socialist Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia from which Bosnia and Herzegovina had seceded the
same year. The army counted some 80,000 personnel during the
Bosnian War
(1992–1995).
The VRS was made up almost entirely of Serb
Orthodox officers and recruits
from Bosnia-Herzegovina. The army formations that fought for
Republika Srpska also included various Serb paramilitary units, as well as Russian, and other volunteers fighting for the Bosnian Serb army.
The VRS has been designated by the International Court of
Justice in the Hague as the
institution that participated in the commission of war
crimes and genocide in Bosnia
against Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats. The military leader of VRS was
General Ratko Mladić, who is now
indicted at the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for
genocide, as are other high-ranking Serb officers. Mladić was
finally arrested in Serbia on 26 May 2011.
