Nyland Brigade
Finnish military unit
The Nyland Brigade, officially Nylands brigad (NylBr) in Swedish, Finnish: Uudenmaan prikaati (UudPr), is a brigade-level marine-type unit of the Finnish Navy stationed in Dragsvik in Raseborg in the province of Uusimaa. The Brigade trains Coastal Jaegers and other troops for combat in coastal environments. It is the only unit of the Finnish Defence Forces where the instruction language is Swedish, the country's other official language. The command language is, however, Finnish.
