The brigade has taken part in the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive. In 2018, symbols were proposed, the basis of which are the symbols of Prince Konstantin Ostrozky. According to Vitaly Haidukevych, the 30th brigade will be the second part of the Armed Forces, which will carry the old symbol of Ukrainian military might - the prince's ostrog - in the flag of honor and on the patches. By the 30th brigade, the old symbol — Svyatoslav's two teeth — was adopted by the SSO and the 3rd Special Forces Regiment. The flag of the brigade shows the symbols of the fortress of Prince Ostrozhsky. The fortress was located in ancient Zvyagel, the location of the brigade. This emblem, authored by Vitaly Haidukevich and Oleksiy Rudenko, was adopted: the symbol of the brigade became a "British-type" shield bordered by a yellow edging, divided (dissected) into red (heraldically right) and black (heraldically left) halves. The shield contained a heraldic figure from the coat of arms of Prince Konstantin Ostrozky, called "ostroga" or "knight's spur". Mykhailo Slobodianyuk assessed this symbolism as laconic, heraldically correct, based on European traditions.
