It was established in 2025 in order to undertake the frontline responsibilities of Оперативне командування Схід, grouping together several Army Corps under its command. It is tasked with defending the south-eastern regions of Ukraine, predominantly in Donetsk Oblast.

As part of its structure, it initally commanded the 9-й, 11-й, і 20-й армійський корпус Сухопутних військ Збройних сил України.

It also became known that Brigadier General Дмитро Братішко, former commander of Тактична група "Запоріжжя, became the commander of the Task Force following the disbandment of his former unit in 2025.

On April 2026, Bratishko was removed from the command of OC East and Operation Task Force East, being replaced by the commander of 20th Army Corps, Maj. Gen. Viktor Nikolyuk
