The Intervention Brigade (Portuguese: Brigada de Intervenção) or BrigInt is an infantry brigade in service with the Portuguese Army. It was created in 2006 from the Light Intervention Brigade (Portuguese: Brigada de Intervenção Ligeira), which was itself the heir of the former Special Forces Brigade (Portuguese: Brigada de Forças Especiais).
The brigades operational units are listed below. Under the Portuguese system regiments are responsible for the training, maintenance and sustainment of the operational units, but are not operational units themselves. I.e. the 6th Cavalry Regiment trains, maintains and sustains the Intervention Brigade's Reconnaissance Group, but the regiment itself is not an operational unit and not part of the brigade during wartime.
