Original, typewritten, Latin script HR-HMDCDR, 2, box 265 316 __________________ 17 Head of the Municipal Civil Defence staff Ana Mirković 1995, 31 July Knin Report of the Military and Civil Aff airs Sector of the RSK Ministry of Defence concerning mobilization and bringing of the units to full wartime complement, and spontaneous evacuation of the population aft er the news that Croatian forces had broken through the defence lines at Strmica ______________________ REPUBLIC OF SERBIAN KRAJINA MINISTRY OF DEFENCE Military and Civil Aff airs Sector No. 403-201/95 Knin, 31 July 1995 Offi cial secret Strictly confi dential Regular daily report 1. Mobilization and wartime complement During general public mobilization focus was placed on achieving full strength in SVK war units with conscripts and materiel. Mobilization is carried with the assistance of the military police and the conscripts are immediately transferred to war units. Since there are no conscripts without specifi c assignments, the conscripts transferred to war units are those who most frequently abandon the units. Between 17 July and today 2,850 conscripts were transferred from compulsory work order status to war units. By order of the Ministry of Defence 51 employees of the Ministry were transferred to SVK war units. In the Knin area 30 motor vehicles are being requisitioned for the requirements of the SVK General Staff . Also in the Knin area, 4 pack horses were requisitioned for the requirements of the 7 th Rear Base. Nine doctors have returned from specialization in the SRJ, and will be assigned to war units and to the Sveti Sava Hospital in Knin.
In the Lika area mobilization is completed, and motor vehicles, tractors etc. are being requisitioned as required by war units. Both are proceeding smoothly. In the Plaški area 6 tractors have been mobilized for the howitzer battalion. Six nurses were mobilized for the medical unit of the Plaški brigade. Six trucks were requisitioned at Plaški for the 103 rd light infantry brigade. Kordun Eight trucks were requisitioned for SVK requirements. Banija Seventeen volunteers, persons declared unfi t for military service, applied to SVK units. Second recruitment and peacetime complement Th e following persons were recruited for military service: - Northern Dalmatia 38 conscripts - Lika 61 “ - Kordun 23 “ - Banija 68 “ Total 90 “ Civil defence Civil defence units, staff s and wardens are updating plans for protection, rescue, evacuation, relief and shelter. During aggression on Grahovo civil defence staff s in Northern Dalmatia and Lika provided relief to 220 refugees. Civil defence wardens were particularly involved in preventing movements of the population caused by rumours. Last night someone in Strmica spread the rumour that the ustashi had broken through defence lines and were entering Strmica, causing panic and uncontrolled movement. Panic was dealt with and the population remained in their homes aft er the timely intervention of the head of the municipal civil defence staff in Knin and civil defence wardens. 4. Defence preparations Activities focused on continued downsizing of the number of persons temporarily employed in government bodies through compulsory work orders. Th us, the persons under compulsory work orders in the ministries include the ministers, their assistants and one driver per ministry. Other administrative personnel are persons not eligible for military service (women and persons unfi t for combat duty). Compulsory work order units are being formed at brigade level in order to prepare the territory for combat operations. So far four such units, 30-50 person strong, have been established in the Knin area. 317
