On 2 January 1992 the 2nd regiment of the National Guard of Ukraine was founded, which became part of the 1st Kyiv Division [uk]. In 1995, the regiment was subordinated to the Internal Troops of Ukraine where it was renamed into the 10th special motorized regiment. In 2014, the brigade became part of the newly restored National Guard of Ukraine. 30 September is considered the professional holiday of the unit.[1]
