The AF BiH are the official military in Bosnia which was formed after the unification of the Bosniak-Croat army of the Federation entity and the army of Bosnian Serbs called after the Serb Dominated entity in the country, the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) in 2005.
The AFBiH was formed from three armies of the Bosnian War period: the Bosnian (dominantly Bosniak with numbers of Serbs and Croats) Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bosnian Serb Army of Republika Srpska, and the Croat Defence Council.
“The United States is proud to call you our Partner AF BiH! Congratulations and all the best in your future endeavours,” US Embassy tweeted.
