Draža Mihailović, speaking to the Generals of the Army, addressed the importance of what he called “aggressive defense.” He argued that Serbia, a defensive state, should not defend our core of Belgrade, because if an enemy reaches that far, then Belgrade would shortly fall. Rather, defending the frontiers and non-Belgrade centers leads to safer borders.

Thus a reorganization of troops is needed:

Djakovica

The Association of Chetniks for Freedom and Honour of the Fatherland

Orahovac Prizren (didn't know I controlled it)

Triglavski Odred

Peć

4.Gardijska Pešadijska Div.

Pristina

7.’Kosovska’ Pešadijska Div.

2.Konjicka Div.

The Association against Bulgarian Bandits

Niš

1.’Cerska’ Pešadijska Div. [m: should be Leskovac, didn't know I controlled it]

2.Pešadijska Div. [m: should be Leskovac, didn't know I controlled it]

3.’Dunavska’ Pešadijska Div.

5.’Šumadijska’ Pešadijska Div. [m: should be Leskovac, didn't know I controlled it]

6.’Kolubarska’ Pešadijska Div.

8.’Vojvodska’ Pešadijksa Div. (in training)

9.’Dušanova’ Pešadijka Div. (in training)

25,000 mobilized reservists

Paraćin

We invite our Romanian ally to station troops with us in Niš and Prokuplje to hold the line in case of a Bulgarian counterattack, and to defend Pirot after the initial push
