History
The 145th mechanized infantry division traces the history of the 55th fortified area from WWII. In the fighting, the 55th UR was not involved [1] . In 1946, the 55th SD was reorganized into the 17th machine gun and artillery brigade in the city of Leninakan . In 1947, the 17th machine gun and artillery brigade was reorganized into the 17th machine gun and artillery division. [2]
In 1951, the 17th machine gun and artillery division was reorganized into the 145th mountain rifle division. At this time, she was stationed in the city of Leninakan of the Armenian SSR as part of the 7th Guards Army. [3]
In 1958, the 145th Mountain Division was transferred to the place of the disbanded 146th Motorized Division in Batumi. In 1962, the 145th division was reorganized into a motorized infantry division. [four]
In the early 1990s, the head of Adzharia Aslan Abashidze resorted to the help of the military of the 145th division to protect autonomy from the central authorities of Georgia. The demonstration of force on the border of Adjara prevented attempts to integrate a semi-independent enclave into Georgia. [five]
After the collapse of the USSR, the division was reorganized on September 1, 1994 into the 12th military base with the previous deployment [6] .
In 2007, the 12th military base was disbanded, equipment and personnel were transferred to Russia and to the 102nd military base in the city of Gyumri . [7] [8]
