The army's core consists of the 35th, 55th, 74th, and 137th separate motorized rifle brigades, recruited in Kemerovo, Tyumen, and Novosibirsk regions, Khakassia, Altai Krai, and Tuva. According to Wikipedia, units of the army participated in the Battle of Kyiv in 2022 and continue to operate in the Donbas direction; in autumn 2025, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), army units operated south of Pokrovsk and were redeployed to the Novopavlivka direction in Donetsk Oblast.
