TheOffensive Guard (Ukrainian:Гвардія Наступу,romanized: Hvardiia Nastupu) is an initiative undertaken by theUkrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs to establish new assault brigades within theNational Guard,National Police, andBorder Guards.[1] The main objective of this project is to strengthen the country's security and defense capabilities by creating units capable of responding to various threats and challenges.[2]
In February, the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs launched the Offensive Guard project, which aims to establish eight volunteer assault brigades by April 2023.[2] The project has called for volunteers to join the effort, with particular emphasis on active members of theNational Police, State Border Guard, and National Guard, as well as veterans of theRusso-Ukrainian War.[3] The response to the call for volunteers has been significant, with over 27,000 enquiries registered by Internal Affairs in just over a week.[4] Of these, 15,000 applicants, including 500 female candidates, have applied for admission, and over 800 individuals have already passed medical examinations as part of the enlistment process.[5]
The projected raising of the Guards was such a resounding success[citation needed] that by April 2023 the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine recommended the raising of more formations.
