Polyssia Battalion becomes an assault formation

The 10th Motorized Battalion “Polyssia” of the 59th Assault Brigade has been restructured into an assault battalion within the same brigade. This change follows the recent transformation of its parent unit, the 59th Motorized Brigade, into an assault brigade, as reported by MilitaryLand on January 24, 2025.
