Croatian Army

The Croatian Army (Croatian: Hrvatska kopnena vojska or HKoV) is the land force branch of the Armed Forces of Croatia. It is the oldest and largest of its three service branches, followed by the Croatian Air Force and Croatian Navy. The Army's primary mission is to protect Croatia's territory, sovereignty, and its national interests around the world. The Croatian Army Command is primarily headquartered in Karlovac with 20 military bases nationwide.

It supports joint military operations alongside its allies and within international organizations such as NATO. It has been similarly deployed as a peacekeeping force abroad, mostly with the United Nations. Within Croatia, the Army has provided humanitarian support to citizens impacted by natural disasters. The military's first foreign deployment was to the War in Afghanistan and Iraq War in 2003 and has since deployed to a variety of multilateral missions.

These land forces are organized into combat, support, and service units, both mechanized and armored-mechanized infantry. Combat support units oversee artillery, anti-aircraft warfare, military engineering, military police, and military intelligence. It maintains a close partnership with the Croatian security and intelligence system. Since the 2010s, the Army has expanded its international cooperation and military aid programs, particularly within Europe.
