History

The 10th Army Corps of Ukraine was formed in 2023 as part of a reorganization of Ukraine's military. [2] It groups mechanized, artillery, and other specialized brigades under its command. This restructuring was aimed at improving operational efficiency and aligning with NATO standards. [3] It was reportedly created in preparation for the summer 2023 Ukrainian offensive in southern Ukraine. [4]

In late July 2023, during a Ukrainian offensive, the 10th Army Corps was rotated into combat and was conducting armored assaults towards the main Russian defensive line in the Zaporizhzhia region. The 10th Army Corps was considered the Ukrainian reserve or "second echelon" following the first phase of mostly unsuccessful attacks by the 9th Army Corps in June. [5]

By early 2025, Ukraine had begun implementing reforms to transition from a brigade-based system to a corps-level structure, with the 10th Army Corps being part of this effort. [6] [2]

Structure

As of 2025 the corps structure is as follows: [1]
