Slovenian Ground Force


The Slovenian Ground Force is the primary component of Slovenian Armed Forces.

History

The current Slovenian Armed Forces are descended from the Territorial Defense of the Republic of Slovenia, which was formed in 1968 as a paramilitary complement to the regular army of the former Yugoslav within the territory of Slovenia. The main objectives of TORS were to support the Yugoslav National Army and conduct guerrilla operations in the event of an invasion.
When Slovenia declared independence at the onset of the Yugoslav Wars in 1991, the TORS and the Slovenian police comprised the majority of forces engaging the Yugoslav People's Army during the Ten-Day War. The Slovenian Armed Forces were formally established in 1993 as a reorganization of the TORS.
