context_page_description: The 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya order of Lenin Red Banner Tank Division, commonly known as the Kantemirovites, the Kantemirovskaya Division or Kantemir Division, is an elite Guards armoured division of the Russian Ground Forces. It has the Military Unit Number 19612.
  It is one of the key formations of the Western Military District. All of its units, as well as headquarters, are based in the town of Naro-Fominsk, Moscow Oblast, 70 kilometers south-west of Moscow.
context_section_description: According to a report from the Institute for the Study of War, in March 2018 the division contained:
  Division Headquarters based in Naro-Fominsk commanded by Colonel Oleg Tulinov (Military Unit Number 19612)
  413th Separate Communications Battalion, Naro-Fominsk
  137th Reconnaissance Battalion, Naro-Fominsk
  12th Guards Tank Regiment, Naro-Fominsk 
  13th Guards Tank Regiment, Naro-Fominsk
  423rd Motor Rifle Regiment, Naro-Fominsk
  275th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment, Naro-Fominsk
  538th Guards Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment, Naro-Fominsk
  330th Separate Engineering Battalion, Naro-Fominsk
  1088th Separate Logistics Battalion, Naro-Fominsk
  165th Separate Medical Battalion, Naro-Fominsk
  Harris & Kagan list the 49th Anti-Aircraft Rocket Brigade at Smolensk as part of the division, but the division already has an anti-aircraft rocket regiment, assignment of two such units would be non-standard in terms of Russian division organisation, and Russian websites do not list the 49th AARB as part of the division.
  In 2008, the 4th Guards Tank Division had approximately 12,000 personnel in active service.
