Commander	Brigadier The Lord Lovat

1st Special Service Brigade is an Allies C-grade Infantry division in Steel Division II, available in the Men of Steel DLC.

The British 1st Special Service Brigade saw heavy combat during D-Day and the subsequent Battle of Normandy. The elite commandos that made up this battlegroup showed their prowess while fighting side-by-side with armor, mobile anti-air units, and Royal Navy special forces. The infantry-centric division can count on a diverse arsenal that, while time-locked, provides a versatile set of air and land units. These include various Commando troops, fast-moving Royal Navy Intelligence operatives, Sherman V and Firefly Vc tanks, indirect fire Royal Marines’ Centaur IV, and big 381mm navy guns off-map support. Fleet Air Arm planes patrol the skies above, reinforced by Spitfires from the N°322 (Dutch) RAF Squadron and American P-61A-5 Black Widows. The 1st Special Service Brigade does equally well in offensive or defensive situations due to its variety of units and experienced commandos.
