In brief
An infantry brigade of the Hungarian Defence Forces under the joint operations command, whose page states its purpose as the armed defence of the homeland and the securing of the state border. It is one of two brigades carried from the command’s published list of twelve subordinates; the others are named on hu-joint-ops.

- Broad area of activity
- Eastern Hungary, on the brigade’s own account of its garrison; no area of responsibility is published and none is recorded.
- Notable history
- The brigade’s page traces it to a rifle regiment raised on 1 November 1951, reorganised as a mechanised rifle unit in 1987 and moved to its present garrison in 1990–91. It took the name of the Transylvanian prince István Bocskai on 29 September 1990 and was established under its present designation on 1 March 2007. The page records that the designation was restored from 1 September 2026 after an intervening change, which is the newest dated structural fact on it.
- Strengths
- A named, dated brigade with a published purpose — homeland defence, border security and crisis-management participation — under a joint command that names it. In this module that is the value: Hungary is one of the few states on the flank whose brigades can be recorded from the state’s own publication rather than inferred.
- Limitations
- The page publishes role, lineage and battalion names and nothing operational, so the record carries nothing operational either. Its relationship to the forward battlegroup Hungary frames on its own territory is not stated on any page read and no edge is authored.
