Military unit
The Belfast Brigade of the Provisional IRA was the largest of the organisation's brigades, based in the city of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The nucleus of the Belfast Brigade emerged in the divisions within Belfast republicans in the closing months of 1969, and was formally established in January 1970 as the structures of the new dissident group were created after splitting from the Official IRA.
The brigade was organised along geographical lines into three battalions:
The first battalion covered the Upper Falls, Ballymurphy and Andersonstown
The second battalion covered the Lower Falls, Clonard and the Divis Flats
And the third battalion covered The Bone and the Short Strand.[1]
