Treaty of Passarowitz
Following the Treaty of Passarowitz (1718), the Habsburgs established the Kingdom of Serbia and appointed the first command cadre of the "Serbian National Militia", composed out of two "obor-kapetans", ten "kapetans", two lieutenants and one major. The "obor-kapetans" were Vuk Isaković "Crnobarac" and Staniša Marković "Mlatišuma". During the Austro-Russian–Turkish War (1735–1739), the Serbian Militia was divided into 18 companies, in four groups ("obor-kapetanije").
