- Zone d’activité générale
- Northern and eastern axes: the Izium counteroffensive in 2022 and the Donbas rotations — Bakhmut, Kreminna — since. No current disposition is authored.
- Historique notable
- The Zhytomyr brigade carries the reputation of the summer 2014 raid in which it drove several hundred kilometres behind separatist lines along the Russian border and back — the operation that established the post-2014 air-assault arm's self-image and that its commander of the time later took into the general staff. In the full-scale war it fought the defence of the north in 2022 and the Izium axis of the September counteroffensive, and has since rotated through the eastern front's critical sectors — the Bakhmut approaches in 2023, the Kreminna forests — as one of the formations the branch reaches for first.
- Points forts
- Veteran identity and strong cohesion; a long record of employment at decisive points; a cadre that has supplied commanders upward.
- Limites
- The same structural limits as all air assault formations here — light protection, heavy usage, and attrition of experienced personnel — made sharper by being the brigade used most.
