12th Motor Rifle Division

[1][2] In June 1960, the division was reformed in Divizionnaya (in Ulan-Ude),[3] Buryat Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

It was part of the Transbaikal Military District and did not inherit the honorifics of the previous division.

[4] On 15 March 1979, the division moved to Baganuur, Mongolia, and became part of the 39th Army due to increased tensions caused by the Sino-Vietnamese War.

In May 1990, after the Mongolian Revolution of 1990, the 598th Motor Rifle Regiment returned to Divizionnaya.

The rest of the division soon followed and its headquarters moved to Divizionnaya in June 1992, becoming part of the 57th Army Corps.
