The '''Pelinese Volunteer Legion''' (Alman and Sugovian: ''Pelinische Freiwilligenlegion'') was a volunteer paramilitary unit, sponsored by the Weissersteiner Crown and the Reichswehr, which fought in the Pelinese Civil War on the side of the Pelinese Provisional Government. The unit was among the largest makeup of foreign volunteers during the Pelinese Civil War and were one of the best equipped. They were also known as the Brown Berets, due to their distinctive headgear. Commanders on the front noted that the legion were amongst the fiercest fighting forces at the side of the Provisional Government.

Founded in 1978, the unit sought membership from the very small Pelinese diaspora, as well as from people who were sympathetic to the Pelinese restorationist cause, or from those who are opposed to the expansion of communism, mostly from Almannic countries but also from other nations as well.
