===Armed Forces of Yugoslavia / Serbia and Montenegro (1992–2006)===
Following the [[breakup of Yugoslavia]] and the secession of four out of six constituent republic in the SFR Yugoslavia the remaining two ([[Republic of Serbia (1992–2006)|Serbia]] and [[Republic of Montenegro (1992–2006)|Montenegro]]) established a federation in 1992 called the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FR Yugoslavia). This lasted until 2003 when it was reconstituted as a state union called [[Serbia and Montenegro]]. In 2006 both countries declared independence and parted ways.
