Since 1999 the Brigade has a , serving as its NEO (Non-combatant Evacuation Operations) unit. Currently, they are attached to current homeland defense and international combat operations under the JGSDF Central Readiness Force. The unit is being likened similarly to the Western Army Infantry Regiment and the Japanese Special Forces Group, since these units are some of Japan's only Special Forces units with an offensive capability as some of Japan's other Special Forces units are assigned to CT or defensive duties. Their presence in the JGSDF has served the organization as a morale booster.
