	Brigade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In military science a brigade is a military unit that is part of a division and includes regiments (where that level exists), or (in modern armies) is composed of several battalions (typically two to four) and directly attached supporting units.
		A typical traditional brigade's commanding officer was a brigadier general; a modern brigade is usually commanded by a brigadier or a (full) colonel, or occasionally by a brigadier general.
		The brigade was invented as a tactical unit, by the Swedish king and conqueror Gustavus Adolphus.

	Brigade General - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brigade General is a rank used in many armies to denote the lowest rank of general, corresponding to command of a brigade.
		In the Argentine army, Brigade General is the lowest rank of general, equivalent to an air force Brigadier or a navy Rear-Admiral.
		The Argentine rank of Brigade General is sometimes described as a "two-star" general, on the description of "Senior Colonel" as a "one-star" rank; however this overstates the responsibilities of Brigade Generals and "Senior Colonels" in the Argentine army in comparison to other armies.
