The 282nd Armored Brigade "Unirea Principatelor" (Brigada 282 Blindată "Unirea Principatelor") is a Armored brigade of the Romanian Land Forces, originally formed as the 282nd Mechanized Regiment on 24 September 1968 and later designated as 282nd Mechanized Brigade "Unirea Principatelor".

In 1980 and again in 1988, the 282nd Mechanised Regiment at Focșani was listed as being part of the 67th Mechanised Division (Romania), a "Ready Division – Reduced Strength II," (roughly what previous Western systems knew as Category B).

[1] The brigade is widely regarded as the best-trained unit of the Romanian Land Forces; it is subordinated to the 2nd Infantry Division.

Together with the subordinated units, the 282nd brigade has been deployed to peacekeeping missions in Angola, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

The 282nd Armored Brigade was the first large unit of the Romanian army certified and confirmed for NATO operations.
