‘Second stage’ of Ukrainian military’s corps reform underway, Syrskyi says

(Francis Fareell – The Kyiv Independent) The transition of Ukraine’s military to a corps command system has entered its “second stage,” with more work to be done to improve each corps’ effectiveness on the battlefield, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Feb. 10. The reforms, officially announced in early 2025, came as a response to criticism of the previous structure where brigades fought under large temporary command umbrellas that did not take direct responsibility for the units under them. “The increase in enemy losses is one of the results of the corps reform,” Syrskyi said in a post on the Ukrainian General Staff’s Facebook page.
