This unit operated in the years 1945–1947 in the Carpathians and was the westernmost fighter unit of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. In 1947, the unit attempted to escape Czechoslovakia to the American occupation zone in Germany. During the march through Czechoslovakia many partisans were captured by the Czechoslovak army. Roman Hrobelski was also caught. Later, it was issued to the Polish authorities, condemned to death and executed.
