This decree establishes the awarding of the 13th Operational Purpose Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine with the honorary distinction “For Courage and Bravery” for merits in protecting the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
The structure of the decree is simple – it consists of a preamble, which defines the purpose of the award, and one point of the operative part, which directly establishes the fact of awarding a specific unit.
The key provision is that the entire unit is being awarded as a single combat unit, not individual servicemembers. This emphasizes the collective nature of the brigade’s merits in defending Ukraine. The “For Courage and Bravery” distinction is one of the honorary presidential awards that recognizes special services in defending the state.
