Abstract

Nowadays, non-linear operations are much more present than before, especially due to new information technologies. The fact is, however, that non-linear operations were conducted much earlier. This is proved by the military operation of the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1878, in which we find all the main features of non-linear operations. There are two phases the operations of the Austro-Hungarian Army in the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to be observed. The first that lasted until the occupation of Sarajevo and Mostar and the second from the occupation of Sarajevo and Mostar until the complete occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the completion of military operations. The military operation of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s occupation by the Austro-Hungarian Army began on 29 July 1878 and ended on 20 October 1878, when the Austro-Hungarian Army took over all of Bosnia and Herzegovina. During this operation, the Austro-Hungarian army employed over a hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and had over five thousand killed and wounded. The main objective of the operation was fulfilled. Peace has been restored, the Austro-Hungarian administration has been introduced, the economic situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina has improved.
