can submit a unit to our database, and on quality of life features. We successfully launched the hub <a href=\"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/news\/introducing-the-hub\/\">on April 28<\/a>, and you are more than welcome to join.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As for quality of life features, role and submission fields on a unit's page are now clickable. You can give it a try on <a href=\"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/ukraine\/armed-forces\/3rd-motorized-battalion\/\">3rd Mechanized Battalion<\/a> for example. Please allow us a few days to tweak it on all units, as it requires manually change all submissions. The change also made it possible to list all separate units under their parent automatically, without additional input from the editor's side. Another improvement is a section called \"Mentioned units\" which you can find on all posts.

These commanders will oversee specific frontline sectors and receive a designated permanent force composition.

Some corps include inactive brigades or units that exist only on paper without actual personnel. It remains unknown what the goal is for these paper brigades.

Additionally, several newly appointed corps commanders have earned recognition through their leadership at the brigade level.
