History

The unit was created on April 30, 1938 from reservists from 1925 and 1926. Previously, an Asturian brigade had used this numbering in the north. [n. 1] The new 192nd Mixed Brigade, which was initially part of the 53rd Division of XVII Army Corps, [3] would later be added to the 29th Division of the VI Army Corps. [4] [5] Command was passed to the militia major Abelardo Belenguer Alcober.

The organization of the unit was long delayed and it was not until July that it was complete. In November 1938 the 192nd Mixed Brigade was assigned to the 68th Division. [6] Its garrison was in the Santa Quiteria Mines. It didn't participate in the Battle of Peñarroya, in January 1939, due to its weak organization. [6]
