1st Infantry Brigade

Details Active: 2013-2018 Area: Idlib Governorate Ideology: Secularism Moderate Sunni Islamism Part of: 5th Corps Operations Rooms: Idlib Revolutionary Council

The 1st Infantry Brigade was a Free Syrian Army unit operating in the area surrounding Ma'arrat al-Nu'man. Created in mid-2013, it was by far the smallest of the groups making up the 5th Corps, and unlike the other four it did not receive TOW missiles from the CIA. Nevertheless, it played an important part in rallying the Idlib countryside against al-Nusra and its Islamic Emirate of the Levant. It also helped keep anti-jihadi activists hidden from the Islamic Emirate's police.
