The '''Subhas Brigade''', or the '''1st Guerrilla Regiment''' was a unit of the [[Indian National Army|Indian National Army (INA)]]. The unit was formed in 1943 and unofficially referred to as Subhas Brigade after the [[India]]n [[Indian independence movement|independence]] leader [[Subhas Chandra Bose]], who at the time was also the supreme commander of the army. The unit was the first and major commitment of the second INA in the [[Imphal Offensive]], and along with [[Azad Brigade|Azad]], [[Gandhi Brigade (Regiment)|Gandhi]] and [[Nehru Brigade]], the Army's contribution to the [[Imperial Japanese Army]]'s U-go offensive.

The Brigade was divided into three [[battalion]]s under the command of [[Shah Nawaz Khan (general)|Shah Nawaz Khan]]. By the beginning of January 1944, it had reached [[Yangon|Rangoon]] in [[Burma]], where two battalions remained to guard the border between Burma and [[India]] near [[Hakha|Haka]] while the third advanced into India across the [[Kaladan River]]. Elements of the Brigade subsequently took part in the [[Battle of Imphal|Battles of Imphal]] and [[Battle of Kohima|Kohima]], where they were forced to withdraw alongside the Japanese forces they supported. These battles marked the turning point in the [[Burma Campaign]].

Bose himself did not wish to have the Brigade named for him,<ref>[[R. C. Majumdar|R.C. Majumdar]], ''History of the Freedom Movement in India'', 1988 ({{ISBN|0-8364-2376-3}}).</ref> but the name was kept.
