Bosnia and Herzegovina marks 34th anniversary of Fifth Corps formation

Fifth Corps Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina Bihać Bosnian War Sana 95

Commemorations are being held in Ključ to mark the 34th anniversary of the formation of the Fifth Corps of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH). The corps was officially established on October 21, 1992, following an order from the Presidency of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Historically, the Fifth Corps was formed from the disbanded Unsko-sanska operational group and elements of the Bihać Territorial Defense District Headquarters. Based in Bihać, the unit played a critical role in defending the Bihać pocket during the Bosnian War, enduring a siege lasting 1,201 days against forces from the Army of Republika Srpska, the Army of Serbian Krajina, and secessionist forces led by Fikret Abdić.

Key military operations associated with the corps include 'Sana 95', which resulted in the liberation of Velika Kladuša, Bosanski Petrovac, Ključ, and Bosanska Krupa. The corps reached a total strength of 10,152 personnel, including 618 officers and 8,295 soldiers. Notable commanders included General Ramiz Dreković, the first commander, and General Atif Dudaković, who led the corps until the end of the war.
