The 162nd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces has been assigned to the 9th Army Corps, the brigade confirmed through its official social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The addition restores the corps to its standard structure, with four mechanized brigades, one heavy mechanized brigade, and an artillery brigade forming its main combat element. Since February 2026, the corps had been operating with only three mechanized brigades, one fewer than its typical establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In February 2026, MilitaryLand reported that the 68th Jaeger Brigade had departed the 9th Army Corps after being reassigned to the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces. The brigade later became part of the 8th Air Assault Corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
