During the War, Tešanović founded the Obilić Detachment which operated between two rivers, Vrbas and Vrbanja, and south to mount Vlašić.[1] Detachment took a main part in the Lipovac ambush on the Partisans Company led by Mladen Stojanović, who was badly wounded in the fight.
On 23 May 1942, Tešanović entered into an agreement with the Independent State of Croatia, asking arms and ammunition to fight against the Partisans.[2] In addition, he has collaborated with the Nazi Germans.[3]
On 8 July 1943, Obilić Detachment has become a part of the Middle-Bosnian Chetniks Corps and Tešanović became commander of that corps.
