Military Police

The Army of Yugoslavia Military Police are one of the best qualified and most combat-prepared organizations within the Army. Military Police responsibilities include combating special forces of the enemy and counter-rebellion and counterterrorist actions. Military Police units, in comparison with other infantry elements, carry out a relatively large number of firing exercises, since the Police use weapons even in peace, not only for performing sentry duty, but also for carrying out other peacetime tasks -- stamping out crime, securing people and facilities, search actions, antiterrorist tasks, and others.

Specific training is provided for members of special units of the Military Police, as well as for for members of "general" and traffic Military Police. Drills for Military Police units, from squad to battalion, are based on their anticipated tactical employment, including the training in putting down civil disorder.

The Security Directorate of the General Staff of the Army of Yugoslavia is responsible for overseeing the units of the Military Police.
