However, he did not disclose further details regarding its composition or whether the brigade would continue operating as an independent entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maksym Zhorin, deputy commander of the <a href=\"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ukraine\/armed-forces\/3rd-assault-brigade\/\" data-type=\"unit\" data-id=\"16214\">3rd Assault Brigade<\/a>, offered insight into the topic. In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CfuKtxX2Ytg\">NV.ua<\/a>, he shared details about the ongoing formation of the 3rd Army Corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Zhorin, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is currently working closely with the 3rd Army Corps leadership to finalize its formation. While there is a mutual understanding of the necessary steps, the complexity of the process requires time. He noted that the existing corps units within the Ground Forces\u2014the 9th, 10th, and 11th Army Corps\u2014operate inefficiently, relying on the outdated Soviet system, which offers no useful framework to expedite the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The newly formed corps, including the 3rd Army Corps, serve as a test case for the future structure of the Ukrainian Army. If the transition to the corps system proves successful, there are plans to expand it across the entire military. <em>&#8220;We are now scaling from brigades to corps. If successful, this experience will be applied to the entire army. A great deal of work is underway, and many questions still need to be answered,&#8221;<\/em> Zhorin stated.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column44249_fcdcd5-3e\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1294996283912605\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1294996283912605\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1699389936\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44249_9174cf-34, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44249_9174cf-34[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44249_9174cf-34\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44249_9174cf-34 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading44249_9174cf-34[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44249_9174cf-34\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading44249_9174cf-34 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading44249_9174cf-34\">A Force in the Making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3rd Army Corps is being formed around the 3rd Assault Brigade, meaning it is built upon its key personnel, experience, and operational framework. Once its leadership structure is fully established, additional combat brigades will be integrated into the corps. <em>&#8220;The corps will not consist solely of the 3rd Assault Brigade but will also include other brigades that are already engaged in combat operations. While new units will be created, the corps will primarily rely on existing brigades,&#8221;<\/em> Zhorin explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on his statements, it is almost certain that the 3rd Assault Brigade has not been restructured into the 3rd Army Corps. Instead, its key personnel have played a role in forming the corps, while the brigade itself remains a separate unit within it. In addition to the 3rd Assault Brigade, the corps is expected to include multiple infantry brigades\u2014either mechanized or motorized\u2014along with an artillery brigade, unmanned systems units, and engineering units. Given the dominance of drones on the battlefield and the shortage of helicopters, the corps is not expected to include Army Aviation units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to integrating existing brigades, new units will also be established within the 3rd Army Corps. One such unit is a separate regiment of unmanned systems, which is currently being formed within the corps. According to Zhorin and the regiment\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/drones.ab3.army\/\">official website<\/a>, this new unit is being developed based on the unmanned systems battalion of the 3rd Assault Brigade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to unconfirmed reports, the 3rd Army Corps may include brigades that have operated alongside the 3rd Assault Brigade on the Kupyansk-Lyman axis. Potential candidates could include the <a href=\"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ukraine\/armed-forces\/44th-mechanized-brigade\/\" data-type=\"unit\" data-id=\"20395\">44th<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ukraine\/armed-forces\/60th-mechanized-brigade\/\" data-type=\"unit\" data-id=\"16067\">60th<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ukraine\/armed-forces\/66th-mechanized-brigade\/\" data-type=\"unit\" data-id=\"15274\">66th Mechanized<\/a> Brigades, as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ukraine\/armed-forces\/3rd-tank-brigade\/\" data-type=\"unit\" data-id=\"11900\">3rd Tank Brigade<\/a>. However, this speculation is based solely on current unit deployments, and the official composition of the corps remains unknown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0417\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u043d\u0438\u043a \u043a\u043e\u043c\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0438\u0440\u0430 3-\u0457 \u0448\u0442\u0443\u0440\u043c\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0457 \u0431\u0440\u0438\u0433\u0430\u0434\u0438 \u0440\u043e\u0437\u043f\u043e\u0432\u0456\u0432 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f 3-\u0433\u043e \u0430\u0440\u043c\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043a\u043e\u0440\u043f\u0443\u0441\u0443.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[1142],"class_list":["post-44249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-units","tag-army"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":3,"label":"News"},{"value":4,"label":"Units"}],"post_tag":[{"value":1142,"label":"Army"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/militaryland.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/news_zhorin-1024x478.webp",1024,478,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Jerome Rendall","author_link":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/author\/ml_admin\/"},"comment_info":11,"category_info":[{"term_id":3,"name":"News","slug":"news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":3,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1084,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":3,"category_count":1084,"category_description":"","cat_name":"News","category_nicename":"news","category_parent":0},{"term_id":4,"name":"Units","slug":"units","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":4,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":406,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":4,"category_count":406,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Units","category_nicename":"units","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":1142,"name":"Army","slug":"army","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1142,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":305,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44249\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
