Reformation
It appears the Army HQ was reformed in 1968-9 in the Transbaikal Military District as part of the response to what was perceived as an increasing threat from the People's Republic of China. In 1981 the 91st Motor Rifle Division was formed at Nizhneudinsk, and was relocated to Bratsk in 1986. The 91st MRD became a territorial education centre in 1987, and 5209 VKhVT in 1989. The 29th Army was active until 1992, when it was downgraded to an Army Corps, but then was reformed from 57th Army Corps at Ulan-Ude in 2004, and was active in the Siberian Military District until 2007, when it was apparently again disbanded. Its units in July 2003 included 5th Guards Tank Division, the recently reformed 245th Motor Rifle Division at Gusinoozyorsk, and the 11th Air Assault Brigade.
29th Army was reformed once again in 2010-2011, with confirmation coming with a Kremlin decree of 9 January 2011 naming the army's commander. General-Major Aleksandr Vladimirovich Romanchuk, named Commander, 29th Army, was relieved of duty as Chief of Staff, First Deputy Commander, 41st Army.

Famous quotes containing the word reformation:
“Go on then in doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword; shew that reformation is more practicable by operating on the mind than on the body of man.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
