It is home to 93rd Mechanized Brigade of Ukrainian Ground Forces. Cherkaske is located in close proximity to another military town, Hvardiiske.
During the Cold War, the 22nd Guards Tank Division was based in Cherkaske.[3] The settlement originated in 1949 as the military town of Nove, where a training battalion was originally stationed, and was renamed in 1957 after the Cherkassy honorific title of the 22nd Guards Tank Division.[4]
Until 26 January 2024, Cherkaske was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Cherkaske became a rural settlement.[5]
