The 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigade "Dacia" is an motorized infantry unit of the Moldovan National Army's Ground Forces based in Cahul. The Dacia Motorized Infantry Brigade in Cahul was created on February 24, 1992, by the decree of the President of the Republic of Moldova. The brigade was among the first units of the National Army to take the oath of faith to the Republic of Moldova and its citizens on March 4, 1992. The brigade is made up of former Soviet Army units in Cahul and Comrat. It was among the first units to engage in the Transnistria War in 1992.[1][2]

Like all the other motorized infantry brigades in the ground forces, the brigade maintains a military band which serves on special occasions.
