Editing Regiment (section)

===Tank Regiment===
The Tank Regiment was found in both [[Motorised Rifle Division (Soviet Union)|Motorised Rifle Divisions]] and [[Tank Division (Soviet Union)|Tank Divisions]], with slight organisational differences depending between the two. By the late 1980s, Tank Regiments operating as part of Motorised Rifle Divisions contained slightly over 1,100 officers and other ranks while those operating within Tank Divisions contained over 1,600. A regimental headquarters oversaw command of three Tank Battalions of thirty-one tanks each, typically [[T-64]], [[T-72]], or [[T-80]] tanks although some units used older models, and an artillery battalion of eighteen [[2S1 Gvozdika]] self-propelled howitzers, with some using the older towed [[122 mm howitzer 2A18 (D-30)|D-30]] howitzer. Tank Regiments operating as part of a Tank Division included a fifth combat battalion of motorised infantry, identical to those in [[Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty|BMP]]-equipped Motorised Rifle Regiments. Combat support and combat service support subunits were the same as in Motorised Rifle Regiments with the exception of the antitank missile battery.{{sfn|United States Army|1991|pages=4-46, 4-109}}
