Military
Special Units
So far all I have
found on military elites are the two pictures. I have
read and heard about commando units but I don't have
any information with which I can make a section.
My only other
information is about military 'Specijalci.' I am not
completely sure, but I believe they were part of the
'Gardisti' or 'Guards' brigades which were Croatia's
army in the conflict. The common term for them was
either 'Gardisti' or 'Specijalac' because they wore
camouflage uniforms and backpacks, and had a very
Western-looking uniform. I remember comparing them
to the US Army Rangers. They wore the standard Croatian
woodland camouflage uniform, pistols strapped to belts
or thighs, backpacks with their kit, and some say
disassembled M-70s. They also patrolled the streets,
but not in such great numbers as the regular policemen.
