b) in case of radical aggression:
Th e Serbian Army of Krajina, with the maximum involvement of all the resources of
the state and by decisive defence along with active operations, in cooperation with VRS
and VJ elements, must prevent the occupation of territory and defend the integrity of
the RSK.

CP in the area of Petrova Gora
ACP in the Knin area
On the basis of the foregoing mission, I put forward the following decision for the
commitment of the SVK:
In coordination with offi cial authorities and organizations, and in cooperation with
MUP RSK units and elements of the VRS and the VJ, prevent by decisive defence and
application of various forms of armed combat the splitting of the SVK, the carving up or
occupation of RSK territory, in order to preserve territorial integrity.
a) in case of limited aggression:
In case of HV aggression against the RSK, resort to decisive defence along the lines of
enemy assault and, through active operations along other lines, with focus on eastern
Slavonia, Kordun and Dalmatia, restore the territory lost earlier, prevent the cutoff
of smaller parts of the RSK, infl ict losses, spread hostile forces and, through artillery
and rocket strikes on selected targets in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, deter
radical RH aggression, thus preserving the territorial integrity of the state and creating
conditions for continued negotiation in terms of RSK recognition.
b) in case of radical aggression:
During initial operations prevent by decisive defence deeper enemy penetrations along
the lines of attack and the carving up of RSK territory and, with the concurrent VJ
commitment in eastern Slavonia and Western Srem, infl ict appreciable losses, break
down the assault and create conditions for off ensive action.
Aft er taking over the initiative, turn to off ensive action in eastern Slavonia, Kordun
and central Dalmatia, cut off parts of RH territory in eastern Slavonia, Gorski Kotar
and central Dalmatia and thereby link up SVK and RS forces, prevent communications
with the central part of RH and the regular supply of Gorski Kotar and Dalmatia, and
thus disrupt the planned commitment and deployment of Croatian armed forces. Mount
active defence operations in other areas.
