Guards Armoured Mechanized Brigade (Croatian: Gardijska oklopno-mehanizirana brigada (GOMBR)) is armoured mechanized infantry brigade of the Croatian Army which together with the Guards Mechanized Brigade, are the two combat capable formations of the Land Forces.
As part of international military operations, members of the Guards Armoured Mechanized Brigade were the first to participate in the UNDOF mission, where they monitored the ceasefire between Israel and Syria in the Golan Heights. During the ISAF mission, the bulk of the forces of the 13th HRVCON came from the GOMBR, numbering more than 150 members.
The Guards Armoured Mechanized Brigade (GOMBR) is the successor of the 3rd Guards Armoured Mechanized Brigade (2003-2007), which was formed with the merger of three wartime guards brigades of the Croatian army:
- 3rd Guards Brigade "Kune"
- 7th Guards Brigade "Pume"
- 5th Guards Brigade "Sokolovi"
