History
The Croatian Army was formed in the Croatian War of Independence, when on November 3, 1991 the Croatian National Guard was renamed Croatian Army.
Numerous Croatian army units arose from the Croatian National Guard, including:
- 1st Guards Brigade (Croatia)
- 2nd Guards Brigade (Croatia)
- 3rd Guards Brigade (Croatia)
- 7th Guards Brigade (Croatia)
- Croatian 104th Brigade
- 204th Vukovar Brigade
The locally-based regiments were named the Home Guard Regiments (Domobranska pukovnija). They were first created on 24 December 1991, during the war, and ceased to exist in a 2003 reorganization.
