The Serbian Army of Krajina (Serbian: Српска војска Крајине/Srpska vojska Krajine, СВК/SVK), also known in English as the Army of the Republic of Serb(ian) Krajina, was the armed forces of the Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK), a Serb breakaway state in Croatia during the Croatian War (1991–95). The army was officially established on 19 March 1992. The RSK covered an area of some 17,028 km² at its peak, and was located entirely inland and thus had no navy. The military, along with the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina, dissolved in 1995 following the Croatian Operation Storm.
At the creation of the army, it was planned that its number would be 80,000 people, however it turned out to be less.
