Allegiance:	Constancia
Personnel:	7,200 men
Type:	Specialist
Nickname:
Current Commander:

The CBRN Brigade (1st Independent Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Countermeasures Brigade) is a brigade-strength unit of the Imperial Constancian Army, but is considered an asset of the Imperial Constancian Armed Forces. Administratively it is therefore placed under the Ópla Ypostírixis Máchis (Combat Support Arm) of the Army whilst it is operationally attached to the Imperial General Staff.

In light of the Antakian Civil War and its subsequent nuclear exchange impacting the Antakian cities of Antakşehir and Kwa-Pati in 12.XII.1706 AN, and the subsequent Operation Landslide, the Brigade was activated to assist and provide technical assistance to the Trans-Euran Command and the Imperial Constancian Government. As of 1735, it remains the primary security unit for the former Antakian city of Kwa-Pati, which has now come under Constancian sovereignty.
