The 7th Corps (Bosnian: Sedmi korpus), was an army corps of the Army of Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina active during the violent breakup of Yugoslavia and subsequent Bosnian War.

History

[edit]

The idea for the formation of the 7th Corps arose not only from a military need, but also from a political desire to unite the Krajina military element in Central Bosnia in a separate corps whose focus of action would be towards the Bosnian Krajina.[2] One of the key moments for the formation of 7th Corps took place, on August 21, 1993, in Zenica, during a briefing held between the members of the Supreme Command and the commanders of the Corps; where it was decided to begin with preparations for the formation of the 7th Corps.[2]

The Presidency of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with its Decision No. 02-111-19/94, dated January 11, 1994, regulated the formation of the 7th Corps. The Headquarters of the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina initiated activities on the formation of the 7th Corps.[3] However, combat operations with two enemies in the operational zone of the 3rd Corps (future operational zone of the 7th Corps) would halt the formation until the cessation of hostilities between the HVO and Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the signing of the Washington Agreement.[4]

The decision on the formation of the 7th corps was made by the Presidency of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina on February 26, 1994;[5] and Brigadier General Mehmed Alagić was appointed as the commander.[6]

Following the signings of the Washington Agreement[8] on March 18, 1994 which led to the creation of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Dayton Agreement[9] on December 14, 1995 the 7th Corps as part of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina along with HVO was integrated into newly formed Army of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[10]

7th Corps units

[edit]
Organizational Chart of the 7th Corps of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, April 1994

The organization and development of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war was carried out according to the models from the Yugoslav concepts of national defense; in the conditions when most of the territory was occupied, in the conditions of an armed struggle against two aggressors, this type of model imposed itself as an inevitable and only possible territorial defense concept.[14]

Despite such difficult and complex reality, the command made efforts to form units that would have a maneuver character and capability. The backbone of the maneuver units would be formed primarily from the exiled population from the occupied territories, for example the 17th Krajina Brigade, 305th Jajace Brigade, later 27th Mountain Brigade.[14]

In terms of weaponry, the 7th Corps was a distinctly infantry unit. There were 7 tanks in the Corps. 73 large-caliber artillery pieces, 459 pieces of 82mm and 60mm mortars and over 12,000 infantry firearms.[15]

The 7th Corps was formed from the combat elements of the 3rd Corps, primarily from units of OG "Bosanska Krajina" and OG "Zapad".[16]
