Manpower was planned to be reduced to about 1 million in wartime, while in peacetime it would be 299,057 personnel including officers, soldiers and the civilian workforce, including civil service.

It had subdivisions on three sectors including flotilla and one corps.</li></ul> <p>Directly under SSNO were the Guard's motorized brigade, school centers, three SIGNAL regiments, a light anti-aircraft artillery regiment, and a few independent battalions and divisions. </p><p>In the "Jedinstvo 1" reforms, JNA eliminated most of its old <a href="/wiki/Division_(military)" title="Division (military)">divisional</a> infantry organization and established the <a href="/wiki/Brigade" title="Brigade">brigade</a> and <a href="/wiki/Corps" title="Corps">corps</a> structure with some independent units under direct command of SSNO.

The shift to brigade-level organization provided greater operational flexibility, maneuverability, and tactical initiative and reduced the possibility that large army units would be destroyed in set piece engagements with an aggressor. The change created many senior field command positions that would develop relatively young and talented officers." In 1989, five independent divisions under general staff command and 25 partisan (reserve) divisions under corps command were formed including many other battalions, regiments and batteries under different commands. </p><p>The 1989 plan "Jedinstvo 2" commenced and border battalions were transferred under corps command including some divisions that have remained before under others commands. Brigades got some artillery and antiaircraft batteries under their direct command that helped them to gain independence in wartime from higher levels. Defense of all major cities was previously planned with separate units but under "Jedinstvo 2" only Belgrade and Zagreb retained separated units for defense of their cities. </p><p>There were usually three classes of brigades, regiments and battalions: </p> <ul><li>A. class</li> <li>B. class</li> <li>R. class</li></ul> <p>A. class brigades and battalions were more than 60 to up to 100% manned, and B. class units had 15–60% manpower. R. class units were reserved with about 15–20% and was manned mostly in their logistic units and commands. Battalions with A. class status were 100% manned and equipped. A. class brigades had a brigade HQ and 4 battalions and B class brigade had 2–3 battalions with HQ. </p><p>The "Jedinstvo 3" plan started in 1990. To the military leadership of the JNA, it was obvious that <a href="/wiki/USSR" class="mw-redirect" title="USSR">USSR</a> was moving to defend its internal borders and the only global superpower left was the USA. It was then agreed in JNA that potential for aggression from the <a href="/wiki/Warsaw_Pact" title="Warsaw Pact">Warsaw Pact</a> had diminished but potential aggression from <a href="/wiki/NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a> had increased. The new plan "Jedinstvo 3" included changes to organize better defenses from new perceived external threats. The plan required the building of smaller but more modernized forces with highly mobile units. Corps closer to the border would have two A. class brigades including an artillery regiment of A. class, an anti-armor regiment of B. class and an engineering battalion of A class. Corps deeper inside country would have one brigade of A. or B. class. </p><p>Under "Jedinstvo 3" every corps in the <a href="/wiki/Yugoslavia_Air_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="Yugoslavia Air Force">Air Force</a> should have one support aviation brigade, one fighter wing, one Air Surveillance, Early Warning and Guidance regiment, 1–2 rocket brigades or regiments and rest up to possibilities to equip.<sup id="cite_ref-Marijan_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Marijan-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Under "Jedinstvo 2", the JNA on 1 January 1990 had:<sup id="cite_ref-Marijan_19-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Marijan-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>5 divisions – 2 R. and 3 B. class</li> <li>23 partisans divisions of R. class</li> <li>72 partisans brigade of R. class</li> <li>20 infantry brigades – 2 A., 10 B. and 8 R. class</li> <li>17 infantry regiments – 5 B. 12.

While many changes under it were done during 1990, not all were finished completely.

Four Una-class midgets and four Mala-class swimmer delivery vehicles were in service in the late 1980s. They were built for use by underwater demolition teams and special forces. The Una-class boats carried five crewmen, eight combat swimmers, four Mala vehicles, and <a href="/wiki/Limpet_mine" title="Limpet mine">limpet mines</a>.

The Osa I boats were armed with four P-15 Termit surface-to-surface missile launchers. In 1990, ten domestic <i>Kobra</i> missile boats were scheduled to begin replacing the Osa I class. The <i>Kobra</i> class was to be armed with eight Swedish <a href="/wiki/RBS-15" class="mw-redirect" title="RBS-15">RBS-15</a> anti-ship missiles, and fifteen of them were ordered in late 1989.
