Exército Brasileiro - Order of Battle
The official Brazilian Army website provides two depictions of their organization, and there are a few non-trivial discrepancies between them. This order of battle follows the more detailed of the two.
Southeastern Military Command |  1ª Brigada de Artilharia Antiaérea Guarujá-SP | ||
| 2nd Military Region | |||
 11ª Brigada de Infantaria Leve GLO Campinas/SP Because of the numerous occasions for which it had been called to deploy internally, in 2004 the Army converted the 11th Brigade of the Southeast Military Command based out of Campinas, Sao Paulo into a light infantry brigade with a formal "guarantee of law and order" or "GLO" mission. Now known informally as the "Brigada GLO," it specializes in urban conflict, use of non-lethal munitions, and anti-riot actions, and is trained to undertake operations against narcotraffickers and organized crime. |  12ª Brigada de Infantaria Leve (Aeromóvel) Caçapava/SP | ||
