About Unit

Kursk Force Grouping is a temporary grouping command structure of the Ukrainian Ground Forces.

It was formed at some point in 2025, with the formation becoming publicly known in September 2025 due to the launching of its social channels. The command of the Kursk Grouping is made up from the 8th Air Assault Corps of the Ukrainian Air Assault Troops.

Under its command, a variety of units across different branches of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are present, including the 71st Airmobile, 78th Air Assault, 80th Air Assault, 95th Air Assault, 103rd Territorial Defense, 117th Heavy Mechanized Brigades, and the 425th Unmanned Systems Regiment.

It is commanded by Dmytro Voloshyn, the former commander of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade, and now the commander of the 8th Air Assault Corps.

Its fundamental imagery represents a crossed golden sceptre and sword in the style with other Air Assault Units, a wheat leaf to the left, and a stylized cross to the right, with an elaborately designed cross at the peak of the insignia.
