While the scenario posted by the title may sound impossible due to logistics, with a p.o.d. after 28 July 1914, have a minimum of a corps of Serbian or Yugoslav troops serve in foreign campaigns, especially outside Europe [except for Russia and France]. Bonus points if they stay outside Serbia longer.
I will suggest the following:
15-25 August 1914: The Serbian Army suffers a defeat and loses Belgrade. They retreat southwards and counterattack, but fail or gain a pyrrhic victory.
September-December 1914: Serbia gets conquered by Austria-Hungary [with assistance from Bulgaria and other allies]. The Serbian Army is evacuated by ship to Corfu and Malta. With Italian neutrality [to the end of the war] and difficulties in transportation to Russia, the Serbian Army gets sent to the Balkans or the Middle East.
April-December 1915: The reconstructed Serbian Army lands at Gallipoli or the Balkans, but evacuates with some losses after the threat of Bulgarian, Greek, German or Austro-Hungarian [army] intervention.
1916-end of WW1: The Serbian Army is sent to the Middle East or Russia. When WW1 ends [hopefully with a Central Powers victory or a surviving Soviet Union if the Entente wins], the Serbian Army is struck in Russia or the Middle East and refuses to return to a foreign occupied homeland.
What happens? Could the Serbian Army intervene in the Russian Civil War [like the Czech Legions], Japanese or European colonial campaigns [such as the Second Sino-Japanese War or [an alternate] WW2 in Russia?
Perhaps an ultimate scenario is the Serbian Army, after being defeated, getting involved in the Middle Eastern and Russian Theatres of WW1, the Russian Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War or North Africa and the Allied liberation of Europe if things were to proceed like reality. Otherwise, could the Serbian Army be evacuated somewhere else after its 1915 defeat and serve in Russia or the Middle East [in WW1 or WW2, with the latter replaced by Yugoslavian troops in North Africa]?
