Brigade/Legends

A Brigade was a type of relatively large military unit, typically comprising several Battalions or Regiments. Probably the most famous use of this designation is in the name of the élite Special Operations Brigade of the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.

The term "brigade" was also occasionally applied to the Legions which were the main multi-regiment units of the Grand Army and the later Stormtrooper Corps, and these in turn bore marked similarities of organization to the Battlegroups of the Imperial Army, but in terms of formal organization, all these formations seem in fact to have been equivalent to Divisions, with no brigade-level hierarchy&mdash;perhaps because large Regiments fulfilled most of the functions of Brigades.

The name "brigade" was also widely adopted by irregular troops, such as the mercenaries of the Vibroblade Brigade and the paramilitary organization known as the Peace Brigade during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

Blockquote
The use of the term Brigade is much rarer in Star Wars than it is in real-world militaries.
