The 19th Motor Rifle Division appears to have been formed originally in 1922 in the Moscow Military District.

Division honorifics are - Russian: Воронежско-Шумлинская краснознаменная, орденов Суворова, Трудового Красного Знамени.

Until 1957 the Division remained titled the 19th Rifle Division, its Second World War designation. It was briefly the 92nd Motor Rifle Division from 1957 to 1965 but in 1965 became again the 19th Motor Rifle Division. It arrived in the Caucasus region by the mid 1950s and has been stationed for many years at Vladikavkaz. In the late 1980s it was part of the 42nd Army Corps at Volgograd and consisted of the 397th [[Tank Regiment]], and the 201st, 429th, and 503rd Motor Rifle Regiments.

Today after reshuffling of units during the last fifteen years it is part of the reformed 58th Army, North Caucasus Military District, and consists of the 429th, 503rd, and 693rd Motor Rifle Regiments, the 292nd SP Artillery Regiment, the 481st Anti-aircraft Missile Regiment, and the 141st Separate Tank Battalion.
