Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps

The Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps (Bulgarian: Македоно-одринско опълчение, Makedono-odrinsko opalchenie) was a volunteer corps of the Bulgarian Army during the Balkan Wars. It was formed on 23 September 1912 and consisted of Bulgarian volunteers from Macedonia and Thrace, regions still under Ottoman rule, and thus not subject to Bulgarian military service.

The Commander of the Corps was Major General Nikola Genev, Assistant Commander - Colonel Aleksandar Protogerov. Chief of Staff was Major Petar Darvingov. During the Second Balkan War Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps took part in the battles against Serbian Army. Besides Bulgarians, the corps also included volunteers from other nationalities, including a whole Armenian 2nd company led by Lieutenant Garegin Nzhdeh and Andranik Ozanian (in the 12th Lozengrad battalion or druzhina). There were many Armenians in the 3rd company led by Lieutenant Torgom(of the same 12th battalion of the 3rd Brigade). Another Armenian officer - Hovhannes Chaush led a company in the 7th battalion of 3rd Brigade.
