Regrouping of Serbian Troops

When: 13 December 1877 to 5 February 1878
Where: Serbia
Part of: Serbia restates its declaration of war against the Ottoman Empire

Serbian forces regrouped with Russian assistance during the second phase of the war, leveraging prior combat experience.

During the second conflict, Serbian troops regrouped with help from Imperial Russia. Although there were fewer Russian officers in the Serbian army, this was offset by the experience gained from the 1876-1877 war. This regrouping facilitated the subsequent military successes in the South Morava basin.
