The Ukrainian 17th Army Corps (17AK) has likely deployed to the front, replacing the Operational Tactical Group (OTU) Zaporizhzhia.

Most units assigned to the Corps are currently holding the line between Kam'yans'ke and Huliajpole.

This is the composition of the 17th Army Corps, revealed on its socials in the past week and reported by @Militarylandnet.

It includes two TDF (Territorial Defence Forces) brigades: the 128th TDF Brigade was transferred to the Ground Forces in 2024 but is yet to be reorganized.

On the western flank, the frontline towns of Kam'yans'ke, Stepove and Mali Shcherbaky have long been held by the 128th TDF Brigade and 128th Mountain Assault Brigade respectively.

Check out our in-depth look on this area, posted earlier this week:

Moving East, the 65th Mechanized Brigade's sector has remained the same since late 2022.
The Free Russia Legion has been operating in this area in the early summer.

Mala Tokmachka, north-east of the infamous Robotyne, has been under the 118th Mechanized Brigade since late 2023.

The 3rd Battalion "Volyn" of the UDA (Ukrainian Volunteer Army) was deployed near Myrne in the spring.

The 108th TDF Brigade has been holding the front west of Hulyaipole since 2023.

Marfopil, Malynivka and Olhivske fall under the 102nd and 110th TDF Brigades - these are not currently part of 17th Army Corps.

However, they likely were under OTU Zaporizhzhia in the past, so it is unclear whether they will be attached to 17AK or remain separate.

The 110th Mechanized Brigade is not currently deployed: following fighting in Velyka Novosilka, it rotated out in April but suffered a deadly strike on its command post in the rear (Huliajpole, Dnipro oblast) on July 1st.

Elements remain in the Sumy and Novopavlivka directions.

The 241st TDF Brigade seems to have battalions spread around the frontline, but its UAS units have recently become active in Kam'yans'ke.

The 44th Artillery Brigade has had elements on the southern front since 2023, along with detachments in the Sumy direction.
