The idea for the badge and its first drawings appeared in 2016. They belonged to a soldier of the 55th Independent Artillery Brigade, Pavlo Martseniuk, and his daughter Sofia.

According to the description, the grenade and crossed axes indicate the specifics of the unit's activities.
Saint George was depicted on the historical coat of arms of Kamianets-Podilskyi, where the brigade is stationed.
The inscription “ПОПЕРЕДУ ПЕРШИХ” means “AHEAD OF THE FIRST”.

According to the description, it is “an image of a spear tip superimposed on wings”.

Against the background of the sword is a silver “Adam’s head”. It is a symbol of fearlessness and contempt for death. According to the authors of the drawing, the combat experience of the unit allows it to have the image of the “Adam’s head” on its insignia.

In the black shield is the silver hilt of a classic Western European infantry sword of the 13th-14th centuries. The sword symbolizes the military equipment provided by partner countries, which is in service with the brigade.
