Brigada Specială de Intervenție a Jandarmeriei (Gendarmerie Special Intervention Brigade, BSIJ) is a special operations force belonging to the Romanian Gendarmerie. The unit carries the name "Vlad Țepeș" after the legendary Wallachian ruler, Vlad the Impaler.

History

After the fall of the communist regime in December 1989, two units were created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the task of ensuring public order. One was subordinated to the Romanian Police, while the other was subordinated to the Romanian Gendarmerie. Following the events of 1999, the Gendarmerie Special Intervention Brigade (Brigada Specială de Intervenție a Jandarmeriei - BSIJ) was formed through the Government Decision no. 77/1999 by transferring the Public Order and Peace Assurance Brigade of the Romanian Police to the Gendarmerie.[1]

The BSIJ officially received the honorary name "Vlad Țepeș" in 2001, and in 2002 it merged with the 11th Mobile Gendarmerie Brigade under the name "Special Intervention Brigade "Vlad Țepeș" of the Gendarmerie" (Brigada Specială de Intervenție "Vlad Țepeș" a Jandarmeriei).[1]

Since 2011, the Brigade is part of the ATLAS Network of police tactical units of the European Union.[1] The unit received its battle flag on 11 February 2014.[2]

In 2005, the BSIJ became the specialized military structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the role of combating terrorism and crime, ensuring public order, and fulfilling international missions following the commitments assumed by the state.[1][2] The Brigade has various specialized personnel including divers, paratroopers, and pyrotechnicians. The BSIJ acts in cooperation with all other structures of the Romanian Ministries in order to combat organized crime networks for human trafficking, drug trafficking, and cybercrime. It also has the task of implementing the warrants issued by judicial bodies.[2]

At the request of the Romanian Intelligence Service, the BSIJ can act to protect official delegations, and some high Romanian or foreign dignitaries while they are on the territory of the country. The unit can also intervene in rescue operations in case of natural disasters such as floods or heavy snowfalls. To accomplish its missions, the BSIJ often cooperates with the General Inspectorate of Aviation.[2]

The selection of specialists for the 3rd Battalion Special Gendarmes for Intervention, Special Actions, and Protection is a very rigorous one and includes elements that can test the upper limits of the fighters, from a physical and mental point of view. The fighters' further training is focused on the execution of the main categories of missions and specialization in the pyrotechnic and sniper fields, specific to the unit. Battalion 3 fighters are trained to act punctually, in small teams, with a high level of operational autonomy, in missions with a high degree of complexity.
