Ukraine’s army evolves under fire, with new units challenging Soviet legacy
The corps say the program will help 80,000 troops adopt Western planning methods and faster battlefield technology.
- The Khartiia Corps and Third Army Corps recently launched a joint training initiative to share resources and standardize combat instruction for soldiers, sergeants, and junior officers across both units.
- Ukraine's military struggles with rigid, Soviet-era leadership and excessive bureaucracy; Khartiia and the Third Army seek to replace this top-down inertia with a different organizational path since their founding in 2014.
- The 40,000-strong Khartiia professionalized operations by integrating Western protocols like Troop Leading Procedures and After Action Reviews , enabling faster planning and continuous improvement cycles on the battlefield.
- Combined, the two corps account for roughly 80,000 troops, an influential force that has attracted commanders from other units seeking to study and adopt their training model.
- "We want to give a tool to the General Staff," said Andrii Biletskyi, commander of the Third Army Corps, though whether senior command will abandon its Soviet legacy to adopt the model remains uncertain.
