In brief
An armoured infantry brigade of the Hungarian Defence Forces under the joint operations command, listed on the defence forces’ index as the 30th. Its page states its purpose as the armed defence of the homeland and the securing of the state border, and records its establishment under the present form on 1 January 2023 after a reorganisation.

- Broad area of activity
- Southern Hungary, on the brigade’s own account of its garrison; no area of responsibility is published and none is recorded.
- Notable history
- The page traces the brigade to a rifle regiment raised on 1 November 1951, moved to its present garrison in 1953, reorganised as a mechanised rifle unit in 1987 and largely dissolved after conscription was suspended in 2004. The defence minister established it in its present form with effect from 1 January 2023, which the page calls an important change in the garrison’s life, and the designation was adjusted again from 1 September 2026.
- Strengths
- A brigade re-established in 2023 as part of the force build-up the defence forces have published command by command since then: it is the formation whose page most clearly dates Hungary’s recent reorganisation. Its purpose — homeland defence, border security and crisis-management participation — is published in the same terms as its sister brigade.
- Limitations
- The page publishes role and lineage and nothing operational; the record follows. The 2023 re-establishment and the 2026 redesignation are dated on the page, but what changed in structure at either date is not, and the record does not guess.
