Ukrainian Galician Army

The Ukrainian Galician Army (abbr.UGA; Ukrainian: Українська галицька армія [УГА], romanized: Ukrainska halytska armiia [UHA]), was the combined military of the West Ukrainian People's Republic during and after the Polish-Ukrainian War. It was called the Galician army initially.
The Ukrainian Galician Army obtained its arms from Austrian depots and from the demobilized Austrian and German troops who streamed through Galicia by the hundreds of thousands following the collapse of the Central Powers at the end of World War I. However, the centers of Austria's military industry lay far from Galicia, and subsequent difficulty with resupply was a major factor in the Galicians losing their war against Poland.
