Brigada Mecanizada
Independente
(Independent Mechanized Brigade)
![[BMI guidon]](../images/p/pt^bmi.gif)
image by Jorge Candeias, 16 Dec 2003
Description: Shield of silver, five ancient inescutcheons of blue,
disposed in cross, those in the flanks facing the center, each charged with
eleven silver bezants, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1; diminished and battled border of
blue.
Symbology:
- The silver in the field aludes to the knowledge that this Great
Unit provides, as Inter-Arms School of the Army, just as happened with the
Division Nun’Álvares, its predecessor.
- The ancient inescutcheons, arms of Portugal
before El-Rey D. Afonso III, give alusion to the
contribution of the Brigade in its mission in the defense of the national
territory.
- The diminished border characterizes a Territorial Command and is
battled as a difference from the Independent Territorial Commands of the
Authonomous Regions; Its colour is that of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

shield is black with four 8-pointed hollowed mullets disposed vertically,
sided by two silver swords. The crest includes the shield of the
BMI.

First guidon (guião) of this battalion (no dates mentioned, but the
battalion came to existence in 1922), the Hunter Parachutist Battalion. The
motto "QUE NUNCA POR VENCIDOS SE CONHEÇAM" means "May
they never be known as loosers".
