The 19th Guards Mechanized Brigade is a formation of the Armed Forces of Belarus based in Zaslonovo [be], a few kilometers east of Lepiel.

The brigade traces its history back to the 1942 formation of the 2nd Guards Mechanized Corps of the Soviet Army during World War II.

Following the Cold War, the 19th Guards Tank Division was relocated to Belarus and became part of their armed forces in 1992.

The 2nd Guards Mechanized Division was part of the Southern Group of Forces based at Esztergom, Hungary.

At some point following relocation, the division was reorganized and became a Base for Storage of Weapons and Equipment, a partial-strength mechanized infantry formation.

"One of the equipment storage bases is the 19th, the former 19th Guards Tank Division at Zaslonovo in the Lepiel region.

"[10] In 2008 the base for storage of weapons and equipment was again upgraded into a brigade; 2012 reports suggest one-two established manoeuvre battalions.
