‘Order of Battle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’ by Distinguished Jamestown Senior Fellow Richard D. Hooker Jr. and Jamestown analyst Hlib Parfonov provides a detailed organizational and structural overview of Ukraine’s military forces amid the ongoing war with Russia. Drawing on Ukrainian government, military, and academic sources, as well as authoritative open-source Ukrainian media outlets, the report outlines the composition and capabilities of Ukraine’s military branches, including the Ground Forces, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Air Assault Forces, and the newly established Unmanned Systems Forces. It catalogs over 131 maneuver brigades, their command structures, operational groupings, and equipment inventories, ranging from Western-supplied tanks and artillery to Ukrainian-made drone units and legacy Soviet platforms. This comprehensive guide serves as both an analytical and a reference resource for understanding Ukraine’s evolving military posture.
