Historical Background – 401st Rifle Battalion:

The 401st Rifle Battalion is a newly formed element within Ukraine’s ground defense structure. Developed to expand operational flexibility, rifle battalions like the 401st are structured for territorial defense, infrastructure protection, and infantry support across frontline and rear areas.

Such units typically consist of mobilized soldiers, veterans, and volunteers tasked with maintaining control in liberated regions and performing critical support functions during major offensives. Their duties include guarding logistics hubs, patrolling key transport corridors, and reinforcing active brigades when required.
