===Artillery Regiment===
The Artillery Regiment was used to provide fire support, but differed depending on whether it was part of a [[Motorised Rifle Division (Soviet Union)|Motorised Rifle Division]] or [[Tank Division (Soviet Union)|Tank Division]]. The artillery regiment of an MRD consisted of three battalions of eighteen [[2S3 Akatsiya]]s each and a battalion of eighteen [[BM-21 Grad]]s, numbering just under 1,300 personnel total, while a TD artillery regiment had one less battalion of 2S3s and a little over one thousand personnel total. This was the standard model by the late 1980s, however not all artillery regiments had yet to conformed to it and one or more of the battalions might have used older weapon systems like the [[122 mm howitzer 2A18 (D-30)|D-30]] howitzer. Each regiment was led by a command control battery and included an artillery reconnaissance battery, motor transport company, maintenance company, regimental medical point, chemical protection platoon and supply and service platoon.{{sfn|United States Army|1991|pages=4-50}}
