Early 1950s

After cuts in early 1953 the soviet divisions were re-organized and most were drawn down to just Cadre brigades including the 1st tank division. The re-forms mostly were because of the draw-down after the end of World War 2 and the changes were mostly organized by Nikita Khrushchev and his cabinet. The "division" had the following structure after the re-forms:

  • Headquarters at Kaliningrad
    • 89th Tank Regiment
    • 117th Tank Regiment
    • 159th Tank Regiment
    • 127th Mechanized Rifle Regiment
    • 886th Artillery Regiment
    • 98th Guards Heavy Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment
    • 1720th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment (1955 re-named to 1043rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment)
    • 10th Independent Guards Mortar Battalion
    • 86th Independent Reconnaissance Battalion
    • 183rd Independent Sapper Battalion
    • 767th Independent Signals Battalion
    • 190th Independent Medical Battalion
    • Independent Auto-Transport Battalion
    • Independent Chemical Defense Company
    • 72nd Independent Tank Training Battalion

Later in June of 1957 the division was re-organized yet again including:

  • 159th Tank Regiment - disbanded
  • 98th Guards Heavy Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment - Re-named 98th Guards Heavy Tank Regiment
  • 127th Mechanized Rifle Regiment - renamed to 290th Motorized Rifle Regiment

Just three years later in 1960 the 72nd Independent Tank Training Battalion was disbanded.

Structure in 1990

After many years the Soviet Armed Forces had a major re-fit under Dmitry Yazov including the 1st Tank Division. In 1990 the division consisted of the following just before it's major re-organization:

  • Headquarters - Kaliningrad
    • 89th Tank Regiment - Kornevo
    • 117th Tank Regiment - Kornevo
