4th Separate Special Police Brigade
Identification
The record is best matched to the 4th Separate Special Police Brigade of the Internal Troops of the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs, military unit 7404, headquartered in Baranovichi at 1 Churilina Street. The Baranovichi district directory lists that address for unit 7404, and late-2025/early-2026 procurement notices for the same unit use the same Baranovichi address.

Footprint
Official Internal Troops reporting in 2025 describes 7404 as the central unit of a wider formation that includes the 1st Rifle Battalion (Baranovichi), 2nd Separate Rifle Battalion (Volchyi Nory/Ivatsevichy area), 3rd Separate Rifle Battalion (Volkovysk), the 4th and 6th Separate Special Police Battalions in Hrodna and Brest, and a support battalion in Baranovichi. A January 2026 maintenance procurement by unit 7404 also names subordinate sites at Hrodna (unit 5522, 11 Krasnoarmeyskaya Street) and Brest (unit 5526, 37 Brestskikh Diviziy Street), matching the secondary placemarks.

Mission
Official 2025 Internal Troops reporting attributes several missions to this brigade: public-order and mass-event security in Brest, Hrodna, and Baranovichi; convoying convicted and remand prisoners; guarding IK-11 and IK-22 penal facilities; sapper-pyrotechnic tasks including disposal of unexploded ordnance; and participation in reinforcing the state border. Separate official coverage of unit 7404 shows the convoy mission operating through Baranovichi-Polesskie station, where detainees are transferred into special rail cars.

Infrastructure
Open procurement tied to unit 7404 in 2025-2026 shows an active sustainment base at Churilina 1 and a brigade-wide support network: on-site maintenance for 42 items of medical equipment across 7404/5522/5526, routine supply delivery to the Baranovichi HQ, liability insurance connected to transport of dangerous goods, and a 2025 structural survey of a vegetable-storage building at the Hrodna subordinate site. Together, these notices point to distributed medical, storage, and transport support infrastructure across the brigade rather than a single standalone barracks location.

Readiness
Recent official activity indicates a force posture oriented both to internal-security contingencies and field-style readiness. During a comprehensive inspection on May 22-23, 2024, personnel in Hrodna, Volkovysk, Brest, and Baranovichi were evaluated on live fire, physical standards, hand-to-hand combat, tactical medicine, UAV use, and the readiness of military and special vehicles. Separate training at unit 7404 rehearsed suppression of group public-order violations and mass unrest in an urban area. Baranovichi’s status as a major railway junction is also consistent with the brigade’s documented rail-convoy role. ([t.me](https://t.me/s/vvmvdrb/43699))
