History

It was established on 4 May 1992, as the Kotovsk border control detachment began on the basis of the motorized maneuver groups of the Odesa and Simferopol border detachments and started operations in June 1992. On 22 November 1997, the detachment solemnly received the Battle Flag.[1][2]

In September 2016, the detachment undertook decommunization measures and was renamed to Podilsk Detachment.[3]
