14th Separate Government Communications Regiment KGB
Identification
Best-supported match is the Molodechno/Maladzyechna garrison. Archival histories place the 14th Separate Government Communications Regiment (v/ch 04152) in Molodechno, OBD Memorial records a burial on the territory of v/ch 04152 at ul. M. Gorkogo in Molodechno, and current civilian mapping still indexes Military Unit 04152 in Maladechna. The Molodechno-area placemark at 54.3216N, 26.8751E is therefore the stronger match.

Command
The regiment fits the KGB government-communications mission set. Belarusian law assigns the KGB responsibility for providing government and operational communications and for cryptographic and engineering-technical security of special communications. A recent institutional survey of Belarusian security structures also lists a 14th Separate Government Communications Regiment under the KGB.

Site
Open sources tie v/ch 04152 to a military compound on ul. M. Gorkogo in Molodechno. OBD Memorial records a wartime mass grave at that exact unit territory and lists v/ch 04152 as the organization maintaining the burial. This makes the site both a KGB-associated military location in open sources and a historically sensitive memorial ground. ([obd-memorial.ru](https://obd-memorial.ru/html/info.htm?id=261840307))
Readiness
Belarusian media quoting the State Secretariat of the Security Council reported in April 2017 that the 14th Separate Government Communications Regiment underwent a three-stage combat and mobilization readiness inspection. The reported checks covered personnel training, weapons, military and special equipment, organizational structure, mobilization measures, and movement of subunits to designated areas for training tasks. This is the clearest public indicator found that the regiment is treated as an operational field-capable formation, not just an administrative communications office.

Ambiguity
The second placemark at 53.8637N, 27.5612E corresponds to an OpenStreetMap/Mapcarta military polygon in Minsk near Minsk-Paudnyovy. I did not find equally strong corroboration linking that Minsk site specifically to v/ch 04152, so it should be treated as an unverified secondary location, detachment, or mapping artifact until stronger sourcing appears. Open sources reviewed also do not publicly confirm the regiment’s current equipment, internal order of battle, or any exact mission split between Molodechno and Minsk.
