Is my transcribation/translation somewhat correct?

GRU 13th Directorate OTI SPETSNAZ, Group Gamma
ГРУ йэтю Директорат ОТИ СПЕЦНАЗ, Гамма Группы

Here's the translation and proper placement (AFAIK) of all words in your sentence. I'm not sure what it stands for, name of the team, group etc, so I just translated all words from English to Russian.

ГРУ 13ый Директорат ОТИ СПЕЦНАЗ, Группа Гамма.

You're right.
But there is no word "Directorate" in russian army language.

GRU 13th Directorate OTI SPETSNAZ, Group Gamma - 13ое Управление (ОТИ) СПЕЦНАЗА ГРУ, Группа Гамма is correct. But what mean OTI?

It's the team name, it's from when team OTI started to play as spetsnaz and accordingly used the team name OTI Spetsnaz. Group Gamma is the gothenburg/west coast part of the team.

Well, just a couple of words on that. 1/2 OFF

Most commonly western military experts use word "Directorate" (or actually "2nd Directorate") in USSR Spetsnaz orgcharts to refer to "2-е Главное Управление Генштаба", which was GRU.
Or sometimes "2-е Управление ГРУ (Фронтовая разведка)" GRU front line intelligence department that managed Spetsnaz army units.

And a little observation - quote from Wikipedia artikle:
"The units of Spetsnaz GRU have no official names, such as is the case with units of Spetsnaz MVD. They are generally referred to by numbers, for example, "16th Separate Brigade of Spetsnaz", much like any other military unit..."

IMHO "Gamma" sounds a bit KGB style .
