These corps will be structured around experienced brigades and their commanders, granting them increased responsibility and autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Armed Forces of Ukraine currently have six corps: the 9th<\/a>, 10th<\/a>, 11th<\/a>, and 12th Army Corps<\/a>, along with the 7th Rapid Response Corps<\/a> of the Air Assault Forces and the 30th Marine Corps<\/a> of the Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yuriy Butusov, the editor-in-chief of Ukrainian Censor.net, shared new details about the ongoing transformation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during his regular Butusov Live<\/a> show on YouTube. According to Butusov, the command intends to establish up to 20 Army Corps to scale up the top brigades and build new forces around them. Each corps will be assigned a specific area of responsibility and will oversee at least five brigades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All existing corps will be restructured into combat corps, no longer serving solely as administrative units in the rear. The Operational Strategic Groups (OSUV), Operational Tactical Groups (OTU), and Tactical Groups (TG) will be disbanded, with the corps eventually assuming control of the frontlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The 30th Marine Corps will undergo a complete reform, as it currently functions primarily as an administrative body, with marine units scattered across the entire frontline. Additionally, the marines will receive extra staffing, as some units have yet to recover since the Krynky Operation. The 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Air Assault Forces will be split into two corps, as the current structure is too large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
