5th Separate Special Police Brigade
Identification
The main site is best identified as military unit 6713, the 5th Separate Special-Police Brigade of the Belarusian Internal Troops, at 181 Slavgorodskoye Highway in Mogilev. An Internal Troops post for the 17 May 2025 oath ceremony lists v/ch 6713 at that address, and public registry entries available in 2025 repeat it. The supplied main placemark is also consistent with the historical Mogilev location of the Soviet-era 626th Escort Regiment, which used the same unit number 6713.

Secondary site
The Bobruisk placemark does not appear to be the brigade headquarters. Open-source force-structure listings publicly link the 5th brigade to a separate patrol battalion in Bobruisk, military unit 5527, and a January-February 2026 procurement by v/ch 6713 covered heating-control systems in both Mogilev (v/ch 6713) and Bobruisk (v/ch 5527). That supports treating the second placemark as a distributed subordinate or associated site rather than the primary brigade compound.

Infrastructure
Recent procurement points to a mature cantonment at the Mogilev site. Public tenders in 2025-2026 covered current repair of the headquarters building, repair of a puppy pavilion at the same address, and demolition of an equipment-storage structure there. These notices support the presence of HQ/admin space, kennel infrastructure, and a motor-park or storage area at Slavgorodskoye Highway 181.

Mission activity
Location-linked activity since 2024 shows the brigade being used for both internal-security and contingency tasks. In October 2024, reporting on exercises with 5th brigade personnel said they rehearsed security of Mogilev airport and counteraction against illegal armed formations; separate October 2024 training at v/ch 6713 involved former OMON and Internal Troops personnel as a near reserve. In April 2024, reporting citing BelTA said a new Internal Troops special detachment, OSN "Grom," was created on the basis of v/ch 6713.

Force posture
OSN "Grom," the location-linked special detachment based on v/ch 6713, has been publicly presented as supporting Belarusian border security. A 2025 Telegram post stated that OSN "Grom" of military unit 6713 assists border authorities and conducts reconnaissance to identify threats; Interfax, quoting the Internal Troops commander via BelTA, said the new special detachments were created for a "special period" to fight sabotage-reconnaissance groups and illegal armed formations and to patrol border areas. This indicates at least one brigade element has a border-support and anti-sabotage role in addition to routine public-order functions. ([t.me](https://t.me/s/ssovdvspnby/6118))
