(Patria) - The central ceremony marking the Day of the 2nd Infantry (Ranger) Regiment of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, also the 33rd anniversary of the founding of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, will be held at the "Kosova" barracks in Ustikolina.
Although announced, members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who are in Brussels for a NATO meeting, will not be present today.
The celebration of the Day of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be attended by the Minister of Defence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, high officials of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, representatives of civil authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, cantons and municipalities, representatives of international military organisations, veterans' organisations and other guests.
The Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH) was the official armed force of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (an internationally recognised and sovereign country) during the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It was founded on 15 April 1992, and that date is celebrated as the Day of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The army was formed from units of the Territorial Defence of Bosnia and Herzegovina and organised volunteers.
The Supreme Commander was the President of the Republic, and after the Dayton Agreement, the ARBiH together with the HVO formed the Army of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and after the defence reform it was transformed into the "Bosnian Rangers", one of three regiments within the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Regarding the structural organisation of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it should be said that it was composed of corps.
The corps were formed on a regional principle:
1st Corps: Sarajevo
2nd Corps: Tuzla
3rd Corps: Zenica
4th Corps: Mostar
5th Corps: Bihać
6th Corps: Konjic
7th Corps: Travnik
The most common symbol of the ARBiH was the lily, and the coat of arms also featured lilies with the addition of golden swords and military inscriptions.
The highest decoration was the "Golden Lily", which was awarded for efficiency in fulfilling the purpose and goal of the ARBiH, and the purpose and goal were precisely the defence of the internationally recognised Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from foreign aggressors and domestic traitors.
