 In mid @-@ May 1944 , Đurišić visited Belgrade and asked Nedić , Neubacher , and Generalfeldmarschall ( Field Marshal ) Maximilian von Weichs , German Commander @-@ in @-@ Chief Southeast , to urgently send arms and other supplies to his unit , which was authorised to a strength of 5 @,@ 000 men . Đurišić — with help from the Germans , Nedić , and Ljotić — then established the Montenegrin Volunteer Corps ( Serbian : <unk> dobrovoljački korpus , CDK ) , which was formally part of the SDK . The CDK consisted of some of Đurišić 's former soldiers who had been released from German captivity , but most were Chetniks who had remained in Montenegro and were gathered under the umbrella term " national forces " . By this time , although he still formally owed allegiance to Yugoslavia through Mihailović , he also owed some allegiance to the Germans and to Nedić , who had released , promoted , and supported him . The German 2nd Panzer Army organised Đurišić 's troops into three regiments numbered 6th , 7th , and 8th , following the five regiments of the SDK . The CDK was subordinated to the headquarters of 2nd Panzer Army . Đurišić was appointed commander ; his corps headquarters were in Prijepolje . Each regiment was planned to consist of two " corps " of 800 men each . The CDK comprised between 7 @,@ 000 and 8 @,@ 000 men . Leutnant <unk> , a former German liaison officer for Lukačević , was assigned to watch Đurišić . On 30 May 1944 , <unk> sent a detailed briefing to Đurišić instructing him to ensure that joint operations were progressing smoothly . In mid @-@ June , with German consent , Đurišić moved to the Podgorica area with a group of associates to personally direct the formation of the 8th Regiment of the CDK . He reorganised the Chetnik forces under his command , dividing them into two territorial structures ( one under a command staff for Montenegro and Boka Kotorska and the other under a command staff for Stari Ras ) .
