The 7th Muslim Brigade ((ボスニア語:Sedma muslimanska brigada)) was a brigade in the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH). It was often misinterpreted by Serb and Croat media, which confused it with the squad of Arab volunteers known as ''El-Mudžahid'' - foreign fighters from various Islamic countries that fought during the 1992-95 Bosnian War. The 7th brigade had over 1,000 local soldiers and was a part of the 3rd Corps of the Bosnian Army, while ''El-Mudžahid'' was an independent detachment.〔(ICTY: Arab volunteers not part of Army of Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina )〕 ==Background== The Seventh Muslim Mountain Brigade (''7.muslimanska brdska brigada'') was established on 18 December 1992 at the proposal by staff of the provisional Territorial Defence Force of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Zenica, the soldiers of which were located on the plateau of Vlasic. These men, all Bosniak Muslims, insisted that the unit be formally titled ''Muslim''. The Brigade belonged to the 3rd Corps of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Amir Kubura was formally appointed commander on 6 August 1993. The Command and Brigade headquarters was located in Bilmišće, Zenica. The 1st Battalion was headquartered in Travnik. Each battalion had four companies and the total number of troops was about 1,500.
