Anti-Communist Volunteer Militia

The Anti-Communist Volunteer Militia (Italian: Milizia Volontaria Anti Comunista, MVAC) were paramilitary auxiliary formations of the Royal Italian Army composed of Yugoslav anti-Partisan groups in the Italian-annexed and occupied portions of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia during the Second World War. Colloquially known as Bande or Bande VAC after the Italian military term for irregular forces normally composed of foreigners or natives, anti-communist MVAC formations in occupied Yugoslavia were composed mainly of anti-communist Slovenians, Serbs, Bosniaks, Croats and Montenegrins, as well as some Italians.
