11th Brigade

11th Brigade are the Land Special Operations Force's fighting formation: designed as a covering force to intercept, engage, and deceive the enemy. By integrating the latest robotics, as well as autonomous, and uncrewed systems, the Brigade is at the cutting edge of Army modernisation and a key component of the Advance Force (working with partners before a conflict or first responders during a conflict).

Two individuals in military gear are outdoors in a forested area, focusing on a small unmanned aircraft system on the ground. One is kneeling and adjusting the drone, while the other stands nearby holding equipment. The scene is set on a gravel surface with trees in the background.

11 Brigade is comprised of five regular battalions, a reserve infantry battalion and a Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) group. 

The Brigade is currently undergoing a significant transformation that will see it change the way it fights. Currently, the formation fights with near surface support (controlling the airspace above and the electronic space around you). In the near future, 11 Brigade will fight from and within the near surface. 

The Brigade leverages remote, uncrewed systems and artificial intelligence to gain advantage on the battlefield, alongside NATO allies and the UK’s global partners.
