With the beginning of the Nikita Khrushchev era, the Strategic Rocket Forces were increasingly emphasised at the expense of the Ground Forces, and the Ground Forces were reduced and reorganized. The Division was reformed by renumbering the 18th Guards Tank Division in 1965 after its transfer to the Transbaikal District from the North Caucasus Military District to reinforce the Transbaikal Military District in the light of deteriorating relations with the People's Republic of China (PRC). The Division was located in Mongolia under the 39th Army (Soviet Union) and then the 57th Army Corps for many years before being withdrawn in 1991–92. One source (Tomsk) reports that it was disbanded from 1984–89 and was incorporated into the 48 Guards Independent Army Corps during that time.

  • With the beginning of the Nikita Khrushchev era, the Strategic Rocket Forces were increasingly emphasised at the expense of the Ground Forces, and the Ground Forces were reduced and reorganized. The Division was reformed by renumbering the 18th Guards Tank Division in 1965 after its transfer to the Transbaikal District from the North Caucasus Military District to reinforce the Transbaikal Military District in the light of deteriorating relations with the People's Republic of China (PRC). The Division was located in Mongolia under the 39th Army (Soviet Union) and then the 57th Army Corps for many years before being withdrawn in 1991–92. One source (Tomsk) reports that it was disbanded from 1984–89 and was incorporated into the 48 Guards Independent Army Corps during that time. The Division has been located at Kyakhta on the Mongolian–Russian border since its withdrawal and was placed under the command of the 29th Army (Soviet Union), as the 57th Army Corps was upgraded in status to Army level in 2003. The 29th Army was subsequently disbanded. Adam Geibel wrote that 5th "Don" Guards Tank Division, stationed in Buryatia, had received ‘a few’ T-90s. Division's honorifics seem to include "Don" and "Budapest". The division was reorganised as the 5th Guards Separate Tank Brigade in 2009.
