Operation Winter '94 - Order of Battle

Order of Battle

The HV deployed up to 9,000 troops on rotation through the area during the Operation Winter '94 (keeping no more than 3,000–4,000 troops on the ground at any time), and the HVO fielded an additional 2,000–3,000. The defending force of the VRS 2nd Krajina Corps consisted of about 3,500 soldiers, spread along the 55-kilometre (34 mi) front line. The Bosnian Serb defenders were commanded by Colonel Radivoje Tomanić. The attacking force was nominally controlled by the HVO, with Major General Tihomir Blaškić in overall command of the attack. The HV General Staff appointed Major General Ante Gotovina commander of the Split Corps and commanding officer of the HV units. The Croatian forces were organized into operational groups (OG). OG Sinj was located on the left flank (on Croatian soil), OG Livno in the centre and OG Kupres on the right flank of the attack in Bosnia and Herzegovina. OG Kupres predominantly consisted of HVO units, while the bulk of the OG Sinj and OG Livno was made up of HV troops.
