Among the organizations formed during wartime which were most commonly associated with neo-Ustashism was the Croatian Defence Forces ("Hrvatske obrambene snage", HOS), which emerged as the de facto paramilitary wing of the Croatian Party of Rights. Their symbols included dressing in black, at the time widely perceived to be reminiscent of blackshirts, and using the phrase "Za dom spremni". These units, however, quickly fell out of favor with the Croatian authorities and were eliminated through more or less violent means before the end of the first phase of the war in Croatia. In recent years the HOS has gained popularity, their members making appearances during state war commemorations.
