Before the battle

The Bihać pocket was an area of northwest Bosnia centered around the city of Bihać, where Bosnian Moslem forces (ABiH's Fifth Corps five brigades strong) were surrounded and besieged by Serb forces since the war begun in 1992. In mid-1995, joint Croatian Serb and Bosnian Serb forces, aided by Fikret Abdić's rouge Bosniaks, launched an offensive to take the area, but were repulsed. Still the pocket was in danger of falling and the international community feared a repeat of the Srebrenica massacre there. This was one of the reasons the Croatian Army was given a green light to retake Serb areas in Croatia in Operation Storm, in which the Fifth Corps participated. Once Storm was completed, Bihać pocket was relieved from the west and the north and the Bosnian forces there could start its own counteroffensives aimed eastwards over the Sana River.
