Pohjoinen Prikaati (The Northern Brigade) was the elite unit of Finnish army consisting of a fistful of elite soldiers. Only the most active soldiers with high strength could become the members of PPr. Each PPr soldier had to have served at the Finnish Rapid Reaction Force (NTJ) before joining the ranks of PPr.
