It's actually a brigade group

3 infantry battalions,
1 guns battalion size regiment,
1 engr battalion size regiment,
1 armoured battalion size regiment,
1 service battalion,
1 ambulance company

The engrs, guns, and arm'd regts are normally division assets. Brigades should only have company size units. At full strength (never happened), it is around 7000 people but normally around 5000 with some battalions (3rd Battalion) having only 2 companies.
