===Naval Brigade===
The ''Brigada Naval da LP'' was established on [[5 of December]] of 1938, with the aim to revive maritime traditions of Portugal. With a strong connection to the [[Portuguese Navy]]. The Naval Brigade had a large amount of autonomy in relation to the rest of the Legion, having its own command and wearing a different uniform.
With the Naval Brigade as a reserve force for the Navy, its militia officers formed the ''Reserva Legionária (Reserva L)'' of the Navy.
The Naval Brigade was based at the Marinheiros Barracks in [[Alcântara]], Lisbon - where it had a battalion and a band - and had detachments in [[Porto]], [[Ponta Delgada]] and [[Angra do Heroísmo]].
