Lithuanian–Polish–Ukrainian Brigade "TLATAS" (LITPOLUKRBRIG; Lithuanian: Lietuvos-Lenkijos-Ukrainos brigada, LITPOLUKRBRIG; Ukrainian: Литовсько-Польсько-Українська Бригада, ЛИТПОЛУКРБРИГ; Polish: Brygada litewsko-polsko-ukraińska) is a multinational brigade consisting of units from the Lithuanian, Polish and Ukrainian armies. They coincide with the countries of the Lublin Triangle, but other countries are free to join the trilateral agreement. An agreement on its creation was signed on November 16, 2009. The brigade was to reach operational status in autumn 2011, but it was delayed; a January 2012 estimate put that date at some time in 2013. The unit was finally formed on September 19, 2014. In July 2015 the defense ministers of the three countries signed an agreement on the operation of the unit.
The LITPOLUKRBRIG headquarters (HQ) was opened in Lublin (Poland) on 25 January 2016.
Lithuania and Poland are NATO members, while Ukraine is an Enhanced Opportunity Partner of NATO.
