The division was reformed in 1970 without inheriting the lineage of the first formation, and was stationed in Mongolia between 1979 and 1987.

After being pulled back to the Soviet Union it was downsized into a territorial training center, which later became a storage base.

In June 1957 the 91st Melitopolskaya Order of Suvorov MRD (Military Unit Number (v/ch) 34562) was formed at Perm in the Ural Military District from the 91st Rifle Division.

The 91st MRD became the 497th Territorial Training centre in 1987,[3] and 5209th Base for Storage of Weapons and Equipment (VKhVT) in October 1989.

It then became the 6063rd Base for Storage of Weapons and Equipment in 1992, inheriting the honorifics and awards of the 15th Motor Rifle Division, just disbanded in the Transcaucasus Military District.
