Personally I think at some point before 2000s divisions would end up reorganized a lot, moving support elements from divisions to the corps level to consolidate them. Brigades would start to more resemble WWII style regiments since they'd lack a lot of the combined arms elements after years of rear echelon nuclear strikes.
So I think the book text would be more accurate as "regiments of the 5th ID conduct raids into Poland as a feint to cover German maneuvers on the Baltic coast".
