The '''71st Indian Infantry Brigade''' was an [[infantry]] [[brigade]] formation of the [[Indian Army during World War II]]. The brigade was formed in March 1942, at [[Nowshera District|Nowshera]] in [[British Raj|India]]. The brigade was assigned to the [[26th Indian Infantry Division]] on formation. Then from February to March 1943, during the [[Arakan Campaign 1942–1943]], it was with the [[14th Indian Infantry Division]] and was part of ''Mayforce'' which was created to control operations in the Mayu River valley, separated from the main body of the division by a rugged hill range. The brigade returned to the 26th Indian Division in May 1943, until the end of the war.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2009-10-19|publisher=Order of Battle|title=71 Brigade|url=http://www.ordersofbattle.com/UnitData.aspx?UniX=6196&Tab=Sup|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120531150155/http://www.ordersofbattle.com/UnitData.aspx?UniX=6196&Tab=Sup|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-05-31}}</ref>
