The brigade's name was chosen in memory of the First Italian War of Independence Battle of Goito, where the Bersaglieri corps had its baptism of fire.

On 21 October 1975 the 3rd Mechanized Brigade "Goito" was activated by renaming and reorganizing the command of the 3rd Bersaglieri Regiment of the Armored Division "Centauro".

To bring the new brigade to full strength it received the 6th Bersaglieri Battalion "Palestro" from the 22nd Armored Infantry Regiment "Cremona" of the Infantry Division "Cremona", the 3rd Field Artillery Group "Pastrengo" from the 11th Field Artillery Regiment of the Infantry Division "Legnano", and the I Services Battalion "Centauro" from the "Centauro" Division's Services Grouping "Centauro".

The Armored Division "Centauro" was part of the 3rd Army Corps based in North-Western Italy.

The first unit to be disbanded was the 6th Bersaglieri Battalion, whose battle flag was returned to the Vittoriano in Rome on 5 December 1989.
