Krajina: “arm 50,000 men legally and illegally”, “every village should have a police station”,
and “get in uniform and put badges on the Krajina police”. 4621 In a 26 February 1992 combat
report, Ratko Mladić stated that he had decided to continue assisting the RSK TO and MUP in
carrying out organizational and establishment changes, and in equipping the TO and the MUP
units. 4622 On 22 April 1992, Ratko Mladić issued an order, a copy of which was sent to Milan
Martić, aimed at equipping the RSK police units as soon as possible. Mladić noted that
manpower of the Corps’s war units had been redeployed to RSK MUP police stations and
ordered that the personal arms and ammunition issued to these troops be delivered alongside
them. 4623 In this respect, the Trial Chamber has further reviewed an undated report on the
distribution of weaponry in the SAO Krajina around 28 July 1992, bearing a signature, which
stated that the uncoordinated distribution of weapons by the JNA to SAO Krajina could lead
to a split in the defence of Krajina and that if such activities indeed cause disorder in the
defence, they will be stopped on time. 4624

V.”, who had stated that Martić had complained about not receiving the anticipated assistance
from the Republic of Serbia in terms of weapons, uniforms, and equipment and that in future
he would not send the reports on situation in Krajina. 4625

the evidence of Witness B-179. Witness B-179 stated that the Association of Serbs and
Emigrants of Serbia in Belgrade provided humanitarian and military supplies to Serbs in
