WORK IN PROGRESS


The Brazilian Imperial Army (Portuguese: Exército Imperial Brasileiro) is the largest of the military branches of the Empire of Brazil. As with any army, its primary responsibility is land-based military operations. It operates large expeditionary and fixed land forces to accomplish its missions. In addition to being the largest branch of the armed forces, the Brazilian Imperial Army is also the oldest, best-trained, and best-equipped. Its primary suppliers are the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, although a sizeable number of its armaments are domestically produced. The Emperor of Brazil serves as the ceremonial commander-in-chief of the army, along with the other branches of the armed forces; the de facto commander is Marshal Ernesto da Branco. The Brazilian Imperial Army has approximately 840,000 personnel, with 600,000 in active service and 240,000 in the reserves.

Organization

The Brazilian Imperial Army's basic unit of action is the division. A typical division is comprised of three combat maneuver brigades, an aviation brigade, and a divisional headquarters. There are seven types of divisions: Mechanized infantry; armored; light infantry; airborne; airmobile; special forces; and special aviation. Each type of division has its own advantages and disadvantages, and therefore must effectively coordinate to complement each others' strengths and maximize their performance. The divisions are listed below.

Division types

Mechanized infantry

Organizationally, a mechanized division is the same as an armored division. It differs, however, in that it uses lighter equipment, and is thus more easily deployable.

A mechanized infantry division enjoys the following advantages:

  1. Excellent tactical mobility
  2. Strong armament
  3. Good protection
  4. Good strategic mobility

It has the following disadvantage:

  1. Less protection than an armored division

A mechanized infantry division consists of the following:

  • 3 mechanized infantry brigades
  • 1 divisional aviation brigade
  • Headquarters
    • 120 personnel with armored vehicles under the command of a Major-General

Mechanized infantry brigade

The mechanized infantry brigade is organized as follows:

  • 4 mechanized infantry battalions
  • 1 tank battalion
  • 1 artillery battalion
  • 1 aviation battalion
  • 1 engineer battalion
  • 1 reconnaissance squadron
  • 1 support battalion
  • Headquarters
    • 30 personnel commanded by a Brigadier
Mechanized infantry battalion

The mechanized infantry battalion is comprised of 4 infantry companies, a fire support company, an engineer platoon, a logistics company, a reconnaissance platoon, and a headquarters.

The infantry company consists of 3 platoons and 1 company headquarters. Each platoon has three M113A4 Mobile Tactical Vehicle, Light (MTVL) for each of its three squads. The squad's personnel include the section leader, two machine gunners, two grenadiers, and four riflemen, one of whom is a sniper. In these vehicles there are also the platoon commanding officer, the platoon executive officer, the platoon sergeant, and the medic. The Company Headquarters has two MTVLs (carrying the company CO, the company XO, the radio unit, three medics, the company sergeant-major, a Stinger fire-team, and a Casper 250 UAV unit with two UAVs). Each MTVL carries a Samson Remote Controlled Weapon Station armed with a 25mm Bushmaster cannon, a co-axial 7.62mm Rheinmetall MG3 general purpose machine gun, and two Spike-ER (extended range) missiles; each MTVL also uses the ACAV kit, with two Rheinmetall MG3s mounted on the roof on each side behind gunshields.

The fire support company consists of the following units and equipment:

  • Direct fire platoon
    • 8 MTVL twin-106mm recoilless rifle carriers
  • Indirect fire platoon
    • 8 MTVL AMOS twin 120mm mortar system carriers
    • 2 M113A4 Mobile Tactical Vehicle Light Universal Carriers (MTVL-UC)
  • Air defense platoon
    • 8 MTVLs equipped with NASAMS launchers
  • Anti-tank platoon
    • 8 XM44 Fire Units (each carrying 8 YMGM-157B Enhanced Fiber Optic Guided Missiles)
  • Headquarters
    • 1 M577A4 command vehicle

The engineer platoon has two M113A4 Mobile Tactical Light Recovery Vehicles (MTVR) and two M113A4 Mobile Tactical Light Fitters Vehicles (MTFV).

The logistics company consists of the following vehicles: ten MTVL-UCs and twenty M973 Small Unit Support Vehicles.

The reconnaissance platoon has four Sabre light tanks, two MTVLs, and four HMMWVs, two of which carry Micro-Vee UAVs. The unit also includes a sniper section and two scout sections.

Headquarters is commanded by a colonel with a ten man staff, guarded by twenty security troops, and has two M577A4 command vehicles and four MTVLs.

Tank battalion

The tank battalion comprises 4 tank squadrons, a fire support company, an engineer platoon, a logistics company, a reconnaissance platoon, and a headquarters.

Each tank squadron consists of thirteen Bernardini MB-3 Tamoyo medium tanks.

The tank battalion's fire support company is noticeably smaller than that of the mechanized infantry battalion, consisting only of an indirect fire platoon and an air defense platoon (both organizationally similar to their counterparts in the mechanized infantry battalion).

The remaining units are identical to their counterparts in the mechanized infantry battalion.

Artillery battalion

The artillery battalion provides the primary means of fire support for the brigade. It possesses the following units and equipment:

  • 2 field artillery batteries

Armor

The heaviest type of division in the Army. It is intended to be used at the most difficult spots in both attack and defense. The weight of equipment fielded by an armored division means that it is relegated to a mainly defensive role.

An armored division has the following advantages:

  1. Excellent tactical mobility
  2. Strong armament
  3. Excellent protection

It also has the following disadvantage:

  1. Poor strategic mobility

Light infantry

The second-most deployable type of division in the Army, the light infantry division is organizationally similar to an airborne division, but differs in that it possess aircraft and a larger number of vehicles.

The light infantry division has the following advantages:

  1. Excellent tactical mobility
  2. Strong armament
  3. Minimal logistical requirements

It does, however, have one notable disadvantage:

  1. Poor protection

Airborne

The airborne division forms a rapid reaction force. It is designed to be a self sufficient unit for a short time, containing all necessary maneuver, fire, and support units to operate alone.

An airborne division has the following advantages:

  1. Readiness within 72 hours
  2. Small logistical footprint
  3. Excellent tactical mobility

However, it has many disadvantages:

  1. Poor protection
  2. No tanks
  3. Lack of independence

Airmobile

Airmobile divisions are designed to have tactical mobility by helicopter. It has no tanks, and less artillery than other divisions, but more aircraft than any other type of division.

Its advantages are:

  1. Excellent tactical mobility
  2. No geographical limitations

Its disadvantages are:

  1. Poor protection
  2. No tanks
  3. Enormous logistical and technical support requirements

Special forces

The 17th Special Forces Division is trained in guerrilla warfare, counterinsurgency, counter-terrorism, paramilitary operations, and unconventional warfare. It is trained to fight in any type of combat or terrain, with minimal protection and technical support. The 17th Special Forces Division consists of two counterinsurgency brigades, one commando brigade, one aviation brigade, and a headquarters. Counterinsurgency brigades' primary function, as can be surmised by the name, is counterinsurgency/anti-guerrilla warfare. The commando brigade is a raiding force which can be used anywhere in the world in units ranging in size from a four-man fireteam to a full brigade. The special forces are highly-trained, highly-mobile personnel whose operational and fighting capabilities are considered to be among the best in the world.

The 17th Special Forces Division has the following advantages:

  1. Ability to adapt to any terrain or climate
  2. Well-trained for both regular and irregular warfare
  3. Minimal logistical and technical requirements

It has the following disadvantages:

  1. Poor protection
  2. No tanks
  3. Weak armament

Special aviation

The 21st Special Aviation Division provides the Brazilian Imperial Army's heavy-lift capabilities. It operates the following aircraft:

  • Airbus A400M
