Operational Command East (OC East) is a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces in eastern Ukraine. Its headquarters is currently located in Dnipro.




History



When Ukraine gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, there were three Soviet military districts in its territory. These were the Kyiv Military District, the Odesa Military District, and the Carpathian Military District. In January 1998, the Southern Operational Command was created from the Odesa MD and the eastern part of the Kyiv MD. In 2005, the Southern Operational Association was created from the Southern Operational Command. In October 2013, Operational Command South was created from the Southern Operational Association. In January 2015, Operational Command East was established with control over forces in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. These areas were previously controlled by Operation Command South. The command at the time was led by Lieutenant General Serhii Naiev. Units under the operational control of OC East were involved in the War in Donbass.
Since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, units of OC East have been involved in heavy fighting with Russian forces during the battle of Donbas.
