13th Guards Army Corps
Dear we have a contradiction here. At 13th Guards Army Corps, which I cobbled together from a variety of sources, mostly translated Russian, the date for the directive to disband was given as late 1990 (implementation date early 1991) - but it's not sourced. 13 Gv AK is listed in Feskov et al 2004. Feskov et al 2013 does not list it, and so your now added very detailed listing does not included it. When do you think it disbanded? Should it be included in the 1989 listing? Also attention. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 13:20, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 13th Guards Army Corps did not disband, but was transformed into the 22nd Guards Combined Arms Army as the troops of the Western Group of Forces started leaving Germany en masse and the majority ended up in the Moscow Military District, because Belarus, Ukraine and the other Soviet republics broke away, so the Moscow MD became a border district. The order was issued in 1990, but the actual transformation of the 13th Guards Army Corps into the 22nd Guards Combined Arms Army took effect on March 1, 1991. I found the force structure of the 13th exactly from Feskov's book from the appendices to Chapter 22, the table Состав 13-го гвардейского армейского корпуса в конце 1980-х гг. to be more exact. I actually thought, that I have expanded it in the article, but now I see I forgot about it.B.Velikov (talk) 14:39, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes of course, my mistake, order to redesignate/reorganize 13 Gv AK as 22 Gv OA. And good we find it's still accounted for in the structure as either one or the other. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:48, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
