KGB Border Guard Orbat

[chico20854]

for the first time in (unclassified!) English, it's the KGB Border Guards. For more details on these guys, there is a description in the RDF Sourcebook. Most of these units remained "Border Guard Brigades", with only one mechanized infantry battalion and limited heavy weapons and armored vehicles. The KGB Motor-Rifle Regiments, modeled on KGB units in action in Afghanistan in the 1980s, are mechanized infantry regiments with 3-5 infantry battalions in BTRs and BMPs, an air assault battalion and an engineer company. For T2k, add in a company of tanks to each battalion and a battery of light artillery and BM-21s. The Border Guard Brigades remain on or within 100km of the Soviet frontier; the Motor-Rifle Regiments roam far and wide. The "Special Border Control Battalions" are fairly boring customs and immigration police working ports, rail entrance stations and international airports. The KGB units embedded in Red Army units, those that guard nuclear warheads, VIPs, Lenin's tomb and KGB facilities, and KGB Special Operations forces (the famous Alpha unit, but also some of the others such as Sigma) are generally too small, too specialized or too far away from contact with NATO troops to be listed here - and they reported to other parts of the (massive) KGB structure, although the Border Guards were often a source of recruits for those organizations.
