    This is a list of current and historical equipment of the Brazilian Navy's Corps of Naval Fusiliers (CFN), also known as the Brazilian Marine Corps.


    Light weapons


    The CFN's firearms inventory as of 2010 was estimated at 4,300 pistols, 2,400 submachine guns, 17,600 automatic rifles, 1,600 medium machine guns and 300 heavy machine guns. Individual marines wear two camouflage patterns, the older lizard standard and, since 2021, a digital pattern for urban environments. The lizard pattern consists of a light green background with brown and dark green strokes. It is used by all three branches of the Armed Forces and can be distinguished in the Navy by its lighter tones compared to Army camouflage. Parade uniforms have a bold red color.

    Armor


    Armored fighting vehicles are present in the CFN since July 20 1973, when the Motorized Transport Battalion received five units of the EE-11 Urutu. Armored vehicles would be used in this battalion, renamed Amphibious Vehicles Battalion in 1985, and in the Tank Company, created in 1980 to employ the EE-9 Cascavel. The latter was disbanded in 2003 and its assets joined with a company of the Amphibious Vehicles Battalion to form the Marine Armor Battalion. Most of the CFN's armor is organized within this battalion. The Amphibious Vehicles Battalion operates the Assault Amphibious Vehicle, locally known as the Carro sobre Lagarta Anfíbio (CLAnf). By the International Institute for Strategic Studies's (IISS) estimate, as of 2024 the CFN operated 18 light tanks, 60 armored personnel carriers, 47 amphibious armored vehicles and two armored engineering vehicles.

    Artillery


    Artillery has a tradition with Brazil's marines since the 19th century. Under different names, the CFN was an artillery force until its conversion into infantry in 1847. A new artillery unit was founded in 1962 and since 1993 named Marine Artillery Battalion. The IISS estimated a total of 65 artillery pieces in service in 2024, from multiple rocket launchers to howitzers and medium mortars.
