The State Special Service of Transport (SST) is an important military bastion of Ukraine, which stands in defense of national security and infrastructure. The history of its establishment dates back to the 19th century, when with the development of railway transport there was a need for specialized military units. Their task was the construction, maintenance and protection of railway infrastructure.
The railway troops, which became the basis for the State Special Trans Service, were officially formed in January 1992 on the basis of the Second Railway Corps and other military formations stationed on the territory of Ukraine. One of the first significant achievements of the newly created troops was the construction of a half-kilometer bridge across the Desna River near Novgorod-Siverskyi. This bridge was important for the development of Ukrainian infrastructure, because it improved transport connections between regions.
The mission of the DSST includes ensuring uninterrupted operation of transport in peacetime and wartime, restoration and development of transport infrastructure, protection of strategically important objects, response to emergency situations and participation in territorial defense.
