The 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine "Khartia" (Ukrainian: 2-й корпус Національної гвардії України «Хартія») is a corps of the National Guard of Ukraine.^[1]

History

The 2nd Khartia Corps is a new formation within the National Guard of Ukraine, reportedly in development as part of Ukraine's broader military reforms. It draws its origins and operational model from the well-known Khartiya Brigade, a unit with significant experience in combat operations.^[2] By leveraging the expertise of seasoned commanders from units like Azov and Khartiya, the National Guard aims to enhance its capabilities and organizational structure.^[3]

In a broader sense, the formation of specialized corps such as the 2nd Khartia aligns with Ukraine's tradition of adapting its armed forces to meet evolving threats.^[4]
