When the last of the 48th arrived in Chuhuiv, the entire division was transferred to the Directorate of Instruction for Special Purposes KGB by June 1991.

104 soldiers from the brigade have taken part in UN peacekeeping missions to Lebanon,[9] Liberia, Sierra Leone and Former Yugoslavia.

In August 2014 the brigade's units were involved in an attempt to relieve encircled forces near Ilovaisk.

The unit was supposed to join up with an assault detachment from the Rukh Oporu Battalion and try to breach the Russian encirclement.

The next morning it was defeated by Russian paratroopers, losing most vehicles but suffering relatively low personnel casualties: eight killed and several missing.

Members of the brigade's 1st Mechanized Battalion were seen holding a Ukrainian battle flag with the Kupiansk City Council building in the background.

[24] In February 2023, a video filmed by infantryman Ruslan Zubarev (callsign "Predator") went viral after being posted on his personal Telegram channel.

A squad of Russian soldiers in a BMP-2 attempted to storm a trench held by the 92nd Brigade, close to Svatove.

[25][26] By December 30, the brigade along with the Kraken Regiment after months of fighting, retook the village of Novoselivske 18 km northwest of Svatove in the Luhansk Oblast with numerous Russian captives.

According to the Decree of the President of Ukraine, the full official name of the connection: "92 separate mechanized brigade".
