Tank Battalion "Kune" (lit. "Martens") (Croatian: Tenkovska bojna "Kune") is one to two armoured units within the Guards Armoured Mechanized Brigade (GOMBR) of the Croatian Army.
Established in its current form after the reorganisation of the Croatian Armed Forces in 2007, the Tank Battalion bears the name of Kune (Martens), inheriting it from the wartime 3rd Guards Brigade "Kune", a Croatian Army brigade. [1]
Garrisoned at 3rd Guards Brigade "Kune" Barracks in Đakovo Eastern Croatia, the tank battalion is composed of three tank companies of M-84 main battle tanks, a command company, an anti-armour platoon of wheeled POLO M-83, a reconnaissance platoon, a signals platoon and a logistics company. [2] [3]
In the past, members of the tank battalion have deployed members in support of the NATO ISAF mission in Afghanistan as part of the Croatian Contingent (HRVCON), United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and other UN and NATO peacekeeping operations.

The Turkish Land Forces, or Turkish Army, is the main branch of the Turkish Armed Forces responsible for land-based military operations. The army was formed on November 8, 1920, after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Significant campaigns since the foundation of the army include suppression of rebellions in southeastern Turkey from the 1920s to the present day, combat in the Korean War, the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus and the current Turkish involvement in the Syrian Civil War, as well as its NATO alliance against the USSR during the Cold War. The army holds the preeminent place within the armed forces. It is customary for the Chief of the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces to have been the Commander of the Turkish Land Forces prior to his appointment as Turkey's senior ranking officer. Alongside the other two armed services, the Turkish Army has frequently intervened in Turkish politics, a custom that is now regulated to an extent by the reform of the National Security Council. The current commander of the Turkish Land Forces is General Ümit Dündar.
