92nd Assault Brigade (Ukraine)
The 92nd Assault Brigade "Ivan Sirko" (Ukrainian: 92-га окрема штурмова бригада, romanized: 92 okrema shturmova bryhada), abbreviated 92 OShBr (Ukrainian: 92 ОШБр), is a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. Its honorific name is after Cossack military leader Ivan Sirko. The unit was formed in 1999 as the 6th Mechanized Division based on the 6th Division of the National Guard of Ukraine. In 2000 it was reorganized as the 92nd Mechanized Brigade. Following the Russo-Ukrainian war and the 2015 decommunization in Ukraine, the brigade's Soviet honors and heritage were purged.
