The Nyland Brigade (Swedish: Nylands brigad, NylBr, Finnish: Uudenmaan prikaati, UudPr) is a brigade-level unit in the Finnish Navy. It is responsible for amphibious warfare, naval reconnaissance and special operations of the Finnish Navy. It is one of the three main units of the Navy, alongside the Coastal Fleet and Coastal Brigade. It is stationed in Dragsvik in Raseborg in the province of Uusimaa. The coastal jaegers form a part of it. It is the only unit of the Finnish Defence Forces where the instruction language is Swedish, one of the country's national languages alongside Finnish. The command language is, however, Finnish. The brigade also trains high-readiness coastal jaegers who serve in the brigade's High Readiness Unit (VYKS ATU). The unit is trained for demanding military operations along the coast and in the archipelago. The service period in the High Readiness Unit is 347 days, regardless of role, and soldiers are selected for training after basic training based on specific requirements. The unit is assigned to the 1st Coastal Jaeger Company.
