A mixed brigade ((スペイン語:brigada mixta)) was a tactical military formation of the Spanish Republican Army following the coup of July 1936 and the onset of the Spanish Civil War. It was the basic military unit of the Republican People's Army after its war-dictated 1936 reorganization. ==History== The initial structure of this kind of brigade, approved in October 1936, was composed of four infantry battalions of five companies each, a mixed sapper battalion and a Service Corps company that included a medical corps group. Certain brigades had also a cavalry section. A division was composed of two or three mixed brigades.〔Thomas, Hugh. (2001). ''The Spanish Civil War.'' Penguin Books. London. p.526〕 The mixed brigade was based on a model that would replace the columns (''columnas'') and militias of the pre-coup Spanish Republican Army.〔(''las Quintas de la Guerra'' )〕 The first six Mixed Brigades were created on 18 October 1936. The first was led by Communist colonel Enrique Líster,〔Thomas, Hugh. (2001). ''The Spanish Civil War.'' Penguin Books. London. p.529〕 the second by Jesús Martínez de Aragón, the third by José María Galán, the fourth by Eutiquiano Arellano, the fifth by Fernando Sabio and the sixth by Miguel Gallo Martínez.〔(Las Brigadas Mixtas en el Ejército Popular de la República Española )〕 By December 1936 there were fifteen brigades in full service (1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 11th and 12th International Brigades, 35th, 37th, 39th, 40th, 41st, 43rd, 44th, 50th and one unnumbered).〔Thomas, Hugh. (2001). ''The Spanish Civil War.'' Penguin Books. London. p.526〕 By the spring of 1937 there were forty active brigades and another fifteen were undergoing training; these brigades were swiftly placed in divisions.〔Thomas, Hugh. (2001). ''The Spanish Civil War.'' Penguin Books. London. p.530〕 Mixed brigades were typically Army units, however, the 151 Brigada Mixta —among a few others— was a mixed brigade composed of Spanish Republican Navy Marines ''(Infantería de Marina)'' led by Commander Pedro Muñoz Caro. Photographer Robert Capa took pictures of the 151 Brigada Mixta in the Battle of the Segre.〔(Robert Capa picture of the 151 Brigada Mixta at the Battle of the Segre )〕 All the units ended up being disbanded after the defeat of the Republican military and the subsequent annihilation of the Spanish Republican state by the Francoist regime. The final fate of some of the mixed brigades and their members is unknown.〔(Elche - Memoria Digital, 221 Brigada Mixta )〕〔(Re: Necesito ayuda datos de la brigada mixta 221 y 222 en Castellon y Valencia )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「mixed brigade」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
