Yugoslav Army Outside the Homeland (Serbo-Croatian: Југословенска војска ван отаџбине, Jugoslovenska vojska van otadžbine; Slovene: Jugoslovanska vojska zunaj domovine) is the term for members of the Royal Yugoslav Army who managed to escape capture in the April War. This part of the Yugoslav Аrmy numbered about 980 to 1158 people, mostly members of the navy and air force, who were stationed in Egypt and the Middle East. Only this part of the army was under the direct command of the Yugoslav government-in-exile.
