About Unit

32nd Mechanized Brigade is a unit of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.

It was formed in the spring of 2023 as another expansion to the Ukrainian Ground Forces in anticipation of the Ukrainian summer counteroffensive in 2023. It became the second unit to receive American-supplied M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles; however, these were later reassigned to the newly formed 47th Mechanized Brigade upon their arrival in Ukraine in early to mid-2023.

In mid-2025, the brigade was assigned to the 9th Army Corps as part of the reformation of the Ukrainian Defense Forces to the corps-brigade structure.
