Yugoslavia NATIONAL DEFENSE

Figure 15. Terrain Considerations in Military
Operations
In 1990 Yugoslav military doctrine specified strategy and
tactics to manage most likely security threats. The major problem
in national defense was the country's status as a relatively
small, nonaligned country in a volatile region dominated by two
large military alliances. Yugoslavia constantly measured its
military efforts against those of the alliances. But, because
battlefield, arms development, and production competition with
the larger powers was impossible, Yugoslav doctrine, strategy,
and tactics tried to use limited national defense resources in
the most efficient way.
