The 93rd Guards Mechanized Brigade is a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. The full name of the Brigade is the 93rd Separate Guards Mechanized Kharkiv twice Order of the Red Banner, Suvorov's and Kutuzov's awards Brigade.〔(President.Gov.Ua> )〕 The Brigade traces its history back to the 93rd Guards Rifle Division of the Soviet Union's Red Army, formed at Valuki in April 1943 from 13th Guards and 92nd Rifle Brigades. The Division fought at Kursk, Kharkov, Budapest, and Prague, and was serving with the 53rd Army of the 2nd Ukrainian Front in May 1945.〔Divisions of the Soviet Union 1917-1945〕 After several redesignations and a period as a Mechanized Division, the Division appears to have been redesignated as the 93rd Guards Motor Rifle Division in 1965. It served with the Southern Group of Forces in Hungary during the last years of the Cold War,〔Feskov et al., The Soviet Army during the Period of Cold War, Tomsk, 2004〕 and after the fall of the Berlin Wall was withdrawn to Ukraine (seemingly in early 1991) and became part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In Decree 925/96(?), Colonel Anatoly Savatiovich Pushnyakov, Commander of the 93rd Mechanised Division of the 6th Army Corps, Південного Operational Command, Ukrainian Ground Forces, was promoted to General-MAjor. The division appears to have been redesignated a brigade after 1996 and after 1999. Throughout 1999, the '93rd Motor Rifle Division' conducted a series of small unit and staff officer exchanges with the 40th Infantry Division of the California Army National Guard.〔Globalsecurity.org, (Ukrainian National Guard )〕 On December 10, 2007 the Brigade received its Colour by the order of the President of Ukraine. ==Brigade Order of Battle== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「93rd Mechanized Brigade (Ukraine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
