Bosnia and Herzegovina
The civil war raged in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995. There were three sides in the war - HVO (the Croats), Army of BiH (mainly Muslims) and the Bosnian Serb Army (BSA). After the war the Croat and Muslim parts formed the Federation of Bosnia and Hercegovina - with it's own army - and the Bosnian Serbs had their own army - but both parties were still part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The two armies were merged into one in 2005 - into the Armed Forces of BiH (AFBiH). The new unified army is wearing MARPAT uniforms.
