The Offensive Guard (Ukrainian: Гвардія Наступу, romanized: Hvardiia Nastupu) is a project of Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs with the aim to form new assault brigades in the structure of National Guard, National Police and Border Guards.[1] The project commenced in January 2023.[2]
History
The formation envisions a strength of eight exclusively volunteer assault brigades, to be active by April 2023.[2] It was initially created by the inclusion of the Azov Brigade (formerly Azov Regiment), and a call for volunteers,[2][3] especially from active members of the National Police, Border Guards, and National Guard and veterans of the Russo-Ukrainian War that started when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2014.[1]
In just over a week, Internal Affairs registered 27,000 enquiries including 15,000 applications for admission, 500 of them female candidates, while more than 800 had already passed medical examinations in the enlistment process.[2][4]
