Dragiša M. Kovačević (Serbian Cyrillic: Драгиша М. Ковачевић; Smederevo, Principality of Serbia, 9 June 1882 - Austria, 1974) was a Serbian brigadier general and an early komita freedom-fighter in the Macedonian Struggle[1] and a veteran of the Balkan Wars, the Great War and World War II. As an 18-year-old high school graduate, he became a Serbian Chetnik-Komita and volunteered to go to Old Serbia and Macedonia, then under the control of the Ottoman Empire and participated in a Chetnik special military operation against Turks and irredentist Albanians from 1905. Afterwards, he completed his studies at the Belgrade Military Academy in 1911, and continued to be active in the military.
Dragiša Kovačević was among the non-commissioned officers, and the one with the greatest reputation among the young Chetniks, and at the same time the greatest challenge to the Executive Committee and the Chief of the Mountain Staff - Mihailo Ristić-Džervinac.
On 12 March 1930, he was elevated to the rank of Brigadier General of the Border troops of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.[2]
