  • The Brigada de Reacção Rápida (Rapid Reaction Brigade) is a unit of the Portuguese Army which was known as BAI - Brigada Aerotransportada Independente (Independent Airborne Brigade) until 2006. Its different units are highly trained Paratroopers, Commandos and Special Operations Troops capable of responding to threats in any part of continental Portugal or any other Portuguese overseas territory with quick deployment by air, sea or land (with the support of the Air Force and/or the Navy when required). This brigade is the most requested by the Portuguese Government to fulfill international assignments due to its experience and multi-role capability. The economic crisis forced the Portuguese Government to make budget cuts in the Armed Forces, and in June 2012 it was announced that the Portuguese Army was no longer going to receive the 10 NH-90 transport helicopters that would incorporate the Unidade de Aviação Ligeira do Exército (Army Light Aviation Unit). Thus, the Rapid Reaction Brigade still maintains its dependency on the Air Force for aerial transportation. (en)
  • A Brigada de Reação Rápida (AO 1945: Brigada de Reacção Rápida) ou BrigRR é uma das três grandes unidades operacionais do Exército Português. Grande parte dos seus mais de 3000 membros são paraquedistas altamente treinados. A elevada preparação dos seus militares e o seu moderno equipamento torna esta Brigada a principal força de intervenção terrestre de Portugal, daí as suas inúmeras operações em países estrangeiros. Até 2006, a BrigRR foi designada "Brigada Aerotransportada Independente", sendo essencialmente uma unidade paraquedista. Nesse ano, mudou a sua designação para a actual, passando a englobar as forças de Comandos e de Operações Especiais do Exército Português. (pt)
