History
The Brigades history began as 40th Air Assault Brigade in the late 1979. Later it was reorganized into the 40th Airborne Brigade in the later years of the 1980s (1.6 1990 according to Holm). That redesignation marked the transfer of the brigade from the Odessa Military District to the Soviet Airborne Troops. In September 1993 the Brigade was renamed 40th Separate Airmobile Brigade.
The 40th Brigade was reorganized and reduced into the 79th Airmobile Regiment.
On July 1, 2007 the Brigade was formed by combining the 79th Airmobile Regiment with 11th Army Aviation Regiment.
