Mixed Brigades

 

Mixed Brigades grew out of the government's decision to merge various militias into the Republican Army. A battalion was made up of one machine-gun company and three companies of infantrymen. Political commissars were added to Mixed Brigades in order to make sure the soldiers remained loyal to the Popular Front government. The Mixed Brigades fought in all the major battles of the Spanish Civil War.
