Regarded as being totally loyal to General Michel Aoun's interim military government, the majority of the brigade's battalions – except one, deployed at the Port district – were placed along the Hazmiyeh sector of the Green Line, where they fought successfully the Lebanese Forces (LF) militia faction led by Elie Hobeika during his coup attempt to seize control of east Beirut in January 1986.[11][12] The Brigade battled again the LF in February 1990, this time at the Badaro-Furn esh Shebbak sector during the Elimination War.[11]
