About Unit

9th Army Corps is a combined arms unit of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.

The corps was formed on November 19, 2022, and was first mentioned in the order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on November 21, 2022. It was formed as part of a start to help reform the Ukrainian military under combined arms units, which would not take a greater shape until early 2025.

It was formed in the city of Lutsk in Volyn Oblast, based on the money allocation and visual representation of Lyubart’s Castle in the unit’s former emblem.

On March 14, 2025, the 3rd Assault Brigade departed from the corps due to their reformation efforts being directed as the basis for the new 3rd Army Corps of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.

In June 2025, the 58th Motorized Brigade also departed from the corps due to their reassignment to the 16th Army Corps.

In late February 2026, the 68th Jaeger Brigade departed from the command of the corps, transferring to the Ukrainian Air Assault Troops under the 8th Air Assault Corps, becoming the 68th Airmobile Brigade. With this, the Corps’ has now become partially understrength in its combat structure.
