3rd Army Corps Rebranding Its Units and Insignia

The leadership of the 3rd Army Corps, also known as “Troika,” has initiated a rebranding of all subordinate units to match the design style of the 3rd Assault Brigade, the formation on which the corps was originally based. The changes were revealed through the official social media accounts of each unit and observed at recent awards ceremonies.

The 53rd Mechanized Brigade retains the coat of arms of Prince Volodymyr Monomakh, but the original green heraldic shield with blue edging has been replaced by the standard Troika-style chevron. The 1st Mechanized Battalion and Motorized Battalion have also received updated emblems.

The 60th Mechanized Brigade has completely redesigned its insignia. While the lion motif was retained, it appears in a new design. The brigade’s 1st Mechanized Battalion and Motorized Battalion were also issued new emblems.

The 125th Heavy Mechanized Brigade has similarly updated its insignia to the Troika style. The 2nd Mechanized Battalion and Medical Company also received updated variants.

The only units directly subordinated to the 3rd Army Corps that have not yet adopted the new style are the 63rd Mechanized Brigade, which was recently rebranded, and the 52nd Artillery Brigade. Interestingly, the artillery brigade has not yet been formally acknowledged by the 3rd Army Corps as being under its command, despite claims to the contrary by the brigade itself.
