537 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the 37th Separate Battalion of the Air Force (military unit 4125) was redeployed to Crimea from Pavlohrad.

On 7 September, the regiment received a battle flag, which was personally presented by President Leonid Kuchma and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Mykola Bilokon .

[2] During the Orange Revolution in November to December 2004, the regiment's servicemen were stationed in Kyiv, where they maintained order during mass protests and protected administrative buildings.

[3] On 3 December 2005, in order to prevent an epidemic of bird flu, President Viktor Yushchenko imposed a state of emergency in the territory of five settlements of the Sovietskyi, Dzhankoi,and Nyzhnohirskyi Raions of Crimea.

On 29 December, when the threat of the epidemic disappeared, the president canceled the state of emergency and the servicemen of the unit returned to their places of deployment.

For example, on the nights of 1–2 July 2006, a dam burst due to heavy downpours in the Bilohirsk Raion of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, as a result of which seven settlements were flooded.

One of them arose in the fall of 2007, when the Crimean Tatars, despite the court's decision, refused to vacate arbitrarily occupied land and demolish illegal structures on Mount Ai-Petri.

From 16 to 30 June 2011, soldiers of the regiment underwent a training course under the guidance of specialists from the National Gendarmerie of France, during which they got acquainted with the tactics of European police officers.

From 8 to 28 June, they patrolled the streets of the city and ensured the safety of visitors to the official fan zone, and after the end of the championship, they returned to their places of deployment.

[10] At the beginning of December 2013, when mass protests against Viktor Yanukovych began in Kyiv, 730 special forces soldiers were transferred to the capital.

[12] The Tyhr actively participated in the 2014 Hrushevskoho Street riots, during which the regiment, together with other units of the Internal Troops and Berkut, held positions near Mariinskyi Park.

According to the then commander of the special unit, Colonel Yuriy Lebid, during the clashes near the Verkhovna Rada, officers of the regiment stopped the aunts who were beating the lying protesters.

[12] In the evening of the same day, during clashes on Independence Square, with an interval of half an hour, two officers of the regiment were killed by firearms: senior lieutenants Vitaly Goncharov and Dmytro Vlasenko.

They managed to dislodge the law enforcement officers from the territory of the Maidan and approach the October Palace, where the soldiers of the 47th Special Forces Regiment were stationed at that time.

[12] During these clashes, the protesters detained 67 law enforcement officers, among whom were the servicemen of the regiment headed by the deputy commander for public security, Colonel Timur Tsoi.

Members of the Crimean Self-Defense Force made an unsuccessful attempt to block the unit's checkpoint and persuade its servicemen to swear allegiance to the Republic of Crimea.

As a result of the annexation of the peninsula, a significant part of the regiment's servicemen, primarily officers and contract workers, defected to Russia.
