The Anti-Communist Volunteer Militia (Italian: Milizia Volontaria Anti Comunista, MVAC) (Slovene: Bela Garda or Belogardisti, meaning White Guard) were paramilitary auxiliary formations of the Royal Italian Army composed of Yugoslav anti-Partisan groups in the Italian-occupied portions of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia during the Second World War. The MVAC lacked a clear conventional command and control structure and was to a greater extent a loose arrangement of disparate armed groups aligned in common interests to counter communist guerrillas in their respective areas of operations.
