 15 Mayıs 1919 tarihinde Yunan kuvvetlerinin İzmiri işgal etmesi ve 19 Mayıs 1919 tarihinde Mustafa Kemal Paşanın Samsuna gelmesiyle birlikte Millî Mücadele Harekatı başlamıştır. 1921 yılına gelindiğinde düzenli ordu kurulmuş, Düzenli ordunun teşkili, TBMM hükümetinin kuruluşundan iki aya yakın bir zaman sonra 20-25 Haziran 1920 olarak kabul edilir ve 14.
