The 5th Commando Brigade, more commonly known as the Hakkari Mountain and Commando Brigade (Turkish: Hakkâri Dağ ve Komando Tugayı), stationed in Hakkâri Province in southeastern Turkey, founded as a battalion of the 1st Commando Brigade. Because of the ongoing Kurdish-Turkish conflict, the formation enlarged from the size of a battalion to a brigade.
The brigade has three commando battalions, a support group, and an artillery battalion, which are deployed to different districts of Hakkâri Province.
