3783rd Complex Logistics Base
Identification
The strongest authoritative match is military unit 96131, a Ministry of Defense federal budgetary institution created effective 1 January 2010 with legal address at Monino, Shchyolkovo district, Moscow Oblast. Registry data show the Ministry of Defense as founder and show the legal entity was liquidated on 9 January 2018. I could not independently verify the exact formal title "3783rd Complex Logistics Base" from authoritative sources; that title appears mainly in non-official military-address compilations tied to the same Monino unit.

4th branch
Public records derived from official election filings place employees of the 4th branch of FBU-v/ch 96131 in settlement Lesnoye, Navoloki, Kineshemsky district, Ivanovo Oblast, in 2010. Those records identify the branch by name and show local civilian staffing functions such as medical and electrical support, which is the clearest open-source corroboration I found for the 4th branch placemark.

18th branch / Smolensk footprint
The 18th branch is less cleanly documented in authoritative sources. Non-official military-address lists place v/ch 96131-18 on Rakitnaya Street in Smolensk. Independently, a 2014 Smolensk governor order lists military unit 96131 facilities in Pochinok, and a 2020 cassation ruling concerns the 24th branch of v/ch 96131 in Smolensk, confirming that the 96131 network had real infrastructure and administrative presence in the Smolensk area. The exact public address of the 18th branch itself remains not fully confirmed from authoritative sources.

Observed role
Open sources support a sustainment mission rather than a combat role. In a 2013 appellate decision, the Ministry of Defense is recorded as contracting delivery of fresh vegetables to branches 15 and 16 of v/ch 96131, which is direct evidence of routine provisioning activity. Separate official and court records also show numbered branches of v/ch 96131 in Voronezh and Smolensk, consistent with a geographically dispersed support organization.

Assessment limits
The identity "military unit 96131, Monino" is well supported, and the branch network is also supported. What is not publicly confirmed from the sources retrieved is the exact authoritative use of the title "3783rd Complex Logistics Base," the precise current successor organization after the 2018 liquidation, and the current activity level of former branch sites. The branch distribution suggests a dispersed depot/support network, but stock types, capacities, and present force posture are not publicly confirmed in reliable open sources.
