It was designated as the 42nd Territorial Defense Battalion “Rukh Oporu”, and was eventually assigned under the command of the 57th Motorized Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.
In September 2025, the battalion became defunct and was reformed as a linear battalion, becoming the 3rd Motorized Battalion of the 57th Motorized Brigade.
