In brief

The division’s engineer regiment, seated at Kaunas. Its statute of 10 July 2026 makes it directly subordinate to the First Division commander. It is the only named divisional troop the register’s titles establish; the brigades’ battalions sit below this module’s structural floor.

Seated at Kaunas, the rail and road node the module records as the hinge of Lithuanian military logistics.
Notable history
Lithuania’s engineer force was an engineer battalion under the principal-structure law until the Seimas’s 2024 amendment reorganised it toward a regiment; the June 2025 amendment names an engineer regiment among the First Division’s troops, and the regiment’s statute of 10 July 2026 — its official name carrying the division’s — makes it directly subordinate to the division commander. That statute is also the instrument that places the division under the Land Force, by listing the orders governing the regiment in descending order.
Strengths
A divisional engineer regiment at the country’s main crossing point, established by statute and named as the division’s. Engineer capacity is the part of a division that reinforcement depends on most directly, and Lithuania publishes this one at regiment level.
Limitations
The statute establishes name, seat and subordination only; the regiment’s strength, equipment and tasks are not published in any instrument this project has read.
