Corrections regarding three regiments

The 51st Mixed Artillery Regiment "General Cornel Paraniac" in Slobozia was disbaned in the summer of 2016 http://www.independentonline.ro/2016/08/05/Slobozia--Regimentul-51-a-fost-desfiintat-13625 Its garrison in Slobozia is used today as HQ by the 61st Anti-aircraft/air-defense Missiles Regiment "Pelendava” (”Regimentul 61 Rachete Antiaeriene” in romanian language, this unit was for a short period of time part of the 53rd Anti-aircraft/air-defense Missile Regiment "Tropaeum Traiani" in Medgidia as a ”2nd Battalion”, its headquarters before the movement were actually in the city of Craiova - also known as ”Pelendava” in Antiquity, hence the name). Conclusion, the 61st was part of the 1st Divison ”Dacica” - headquarted in Craiova, now is part of Land Forces Command - headquarted in Slobozia. The 51st is disbaned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/61st_Anti-aircraft_Missiles_Regiment_(Romania)

The 53rd Anti-aircraft/air-defense Missile Regiment "Tropaeum Traiani" in Medgidia (Dobrogea region, not far from Constanța) is wrongly positioned on the map in the city of Buzău. --Razvan Mihaeanu (talk) 00:59, 17 July 2017(UTC)

Fixed. Question: do the 53rd and 61st still have 2x battalions? or are they now having only 1x? noclador (talk) 12:02, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

2 battalions. Traditionally speaking our regiments are always like ”liberos” in footbal: situated between the battalion and the brigade (the 3 classic types: infantry, armored and mountain troops have 3 fighting battalions and supported by 3 battalions: artilery, air-defence and logistics); so the regiment (mixed artillery or air-defense) is made by 2 battalions. --Razvan Mihaeanu (talk) 21:03, 17 July 2017(UTC)

Ok, but now the list has only 1x battalion under 61st Anti-aircraft and 53rd Anti-aircraft regiments... do you happen to know what the the other battalion's name/number is, and what equipment these battalions use? Also I just saw that the battalions for the 52nd Mixed Artillery Regiment are missing. Do you happen to know what their names/numbers are? Thank you, noclador (talk) 01:29, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

"1st" and "2nd" are generic numbers for battalions in anti-aircraft regiments. In this 2 weeks old article http://presamil.ro/eforturi-la-superlativ/ - the 61st Anti-aircraft Regiment has "structures" of : KUB anti-aircraft missiles of Russian production, CA-95 and CA-94 missile systems, as well as 2 × 30 mm cannons of Romanian origin.

3 weeks old article http://presamil.ro/istria-2017/ - the 1st Battalion of 50th Anti-aircraft Regiment has OSA-AKM.

The 2nd Infantry Brigade ”Rovine”

..is now activated as a Multinational Brigade (MN BDE-SE) - ”Brigada Multinațională Sud-Est” - which is under coordination of the Headquarters Multinational Division (MND-SE HQ) and represents one of the measures taken, following the Warsaw NATO Summit, to strengthen the collective defence on the southern segment of the Eastern Alliance territory. https://www.facebook.com/hqmnbdese/posts/1396852587064843 --Razvan Mihaeanu (talk) 01:09, 17 July 2017(UTC)

Ok, and how to change the article/graphic to represent that? And what country is providing the MND-SE HQ? noclador (talk) 12:01, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

I guess the same thing as in the case of 81st Mechanised Brigade. Dont change the graphic, just change the article by taking the entire 2nd Infantry Brigade from the 2nd Infantry Division and use these infos http://www.en.mndse.ro/about to create a section with the title "Allied Joint Force Command Naples", below it you put "Headquarters Multinational Division South – East (HQ MND-SE) in Bucharest" (the 1st Infantry Division "Dacica" was disbaned in order to take its command - and symbol, the dacian Draco - and to be used for this multinational division - while its units were moved to Army Command and 2nd Infantry Division), and then you add "2nd Infantry Multinational Brigade South-East "Rovine" (HQ MN BDE-SE) in Craiova" with its battalions. I know, it's a mouthful of a name. --Razvan Mihaeanu (talk) 21:36, 17 July 2017(UTC)

Done. Please check if the way I did it is correct. Thank you for letting us know of these changes! best regards, noclador (talk) 01:24, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

69th Mixed Artillery Regiment "Silvania" - Şimleu Silvaniei

Completed structure with names and locations of the battalions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/69th_Mixed_Artillery_Brigade_(Romania)#Structure --Razvan Mihaeanu (talk) 05:12, 18 July 2017(UTC)

The 18th Infantry Brigade ”Banat” - the unusual brigade

Is designated since January 1st 2017 as The 18th Reconnaissance-Surveillance Brigade (”Cercetare-Supraveghere” in romanian language) ”Banat”. Similar change for its 26th Mountain Troops Battalion ”Avram Iancu” from Brad, is designated since 2016 as ”Alpine Reconnaissance-Surveillance” Battalion (”Cercetare-Supraveghere Montană” in romanian language). The 32nd Infantry Battalion ”Mircea” (nickname ”Yellow Scorpions”) from Timișoara is now designated as ”Reconnaissance-Surveillance” (”Cercetare-Supraveghere” in romanian language). The 191st Infantry Battalion "Colonel Radu Golescu" from Arad (nickname ”Golden Lions”) - together with the Hungarian 5/3 Infantry Battalion "Bercsényi Miklós" from Hódmezővásárhely - is part of the Romanian-Hungarian Peacekeeping Mixed Battalion (B.Mx.RO-HU.M.P. - romanian acronym) since 1999. The other 3 supporting battalions (183rd, 184th, and 185th) of the brigade are unchanged. Razvan Mihaeanu (talk) 09:54, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

"Cercetare-Supraveghere" is that something like Rangers or are they some kind of Special Operations Forces? or just normal Reconnaissance units? noclador (talk) 00:19, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

But wasn't this brigade previously designated as a territorial brigade? And if so what was the distinction between operational and territorial brigades and is this distinction present today?B.Velikov (talk) 08:27, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

The brigade's name has been changed from ”Banat” into ”Decebal” Razvan Mihaeanu (talk) 03:20, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

The 30th Guard & Protocol Regiment

Was redesignated as The 30th Guard Brigade ”Mihai Viteazul” since 2016 (keeping its 2 guard battalions and a third one of Military Police). The ”Protocol” title was used only between 2001 and 2006. Razvan Mihaeanu (talk) 10:13, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

The 528th (2nd Div.) and 317 (4th Div.) Recon Battalions

Are redesignated as ”ISR (Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance) Regiments”. The 313th (Land Forces Command) Recon Battalion remains unchanged. --Razvan Mihaeanu (talk) 03:10, 10 July 2018(UTC)
