Defense - Slovenia

Slovenian Armed Forces

After successful resistance to the Yugoslav National Army (JNA) following the 10-day war of independence in 1991, Slovenia faced the challenge of establishing independent armed forces. A major reorganization of the Slovene Armed Forces is currently underway, with the goal of changing from a conscription-based territorial defense force to a professional, deployable, and combat capable military with NATO. Conscription ended earlier than expected, in October 2003, and compulsory reserve service will end by 2010. As of August 2004, Sloveniaís professional force included 6,800 soldiers and nearly 14,000 reservists. The current force structure consists of one fully professional motorized infantry brigade and two cadre/reserve force mechanized brigades. The professional brigade represents Slovenia's deployable reaction force. The Slovene Armed Forces also include a small air force, equipped with helicopters and turbo-prop fixed wing aircraft, and a naval attachment, including a coastal patrol boat. The United States provides bilateral military assistance to Slovenia, including through the International Military Education and Training (IMET) program, the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, the State Partnership Program (aligned with Colorado), the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, and the EUCOM Joint Contact Team Program

NATO

After receiving an invitation to join NATO at the NATO Prague Summit in November 2002, Slovenes approved NATO accession with a vote of 66% in a March 2003 referendum. The National Assembly ratified accession to the North Atlantic Treaty in February 2004, and Slovenia officially became a member of the Alliance on March 29, 2004. After gaining independence, Slovenia avidly sought NATO membership as part of its overall strategy of integration into the most important international economic, financial, and security organizations. Slovenia's current international commitments show Slovenia's willingness to become a co-provider of security in the region. Slovenia contributed helicopters, medical personnel, military police, and an infantry company to SFOR and continues to be very active in EUFOR with 210 troops deployed in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Kosovo, Slovenia actively participates in KFOR with 34 troops. In March 2004, Slovenia sent a detachment of special operations troops, along with some vehicles, to the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. A second rotation was sent in August 2004, followed by two firefighters to guard the Kabul Airport in September 2004. In July 2005, an additional 29 troops were deployed to the ISAF mission in Herat, bringing the total number of Slovenian personnel in ISAF to 60.

The Government of Slovenia has diligently pursued its restructuring, reorganization, modernization, and procurement with the paramount goal of NATO interoperability. The United States has encouraged Slovenia to maintain the pace of reform--including the establishment of closer links with regional partners--even following its attainment of full membership in NATO.
