The Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was the military force of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War from 1992 to 1995. It was formed to defend the newly independent state against various factions, including the Army of Republika Srpska and Croatian Defense Council. The army was composed of various ethnic groups, primarily Bosniaks, and aimed to protect the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the war, the army was restructured and integrated into the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2005. This transition aimed to create a unified military force that represents all ethnic groups in the country, promoting stability and cooperation among the diverse population. The legacy of the army remains significant in the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina's post-war recovery and reconciliation efforts.
