The units lineage traces back to the original Azov battalion that was subsequently reformed and expanded into a regiment. During the Siege of Mariupol the Regiments both battalions participated in the defense effort. Many of its members were killed, wounded or captured with a small number of its members being airlifted out of Azovstal by ukrainian army aviation, including the Chief of Staff, Bohdan Krotevych callsign Tavr.
With subsequent releases of Mariupol POWs and the Azov Regiment leadership, the unit was once again expanded and went from the two battalion strong regiment to a 6 infantry battalions strong brigade, still part of the National Guard as before.
Many of original Azov veterans have rejoined the ranks of the brigade.
