The British Army's 143rd Infantry Brigade was originally formed in World War I as a part of the Territorial Army's 48th (South Midland) Division, and served with that Division in both world wars. A key precurser was the formation of the Warwickshire Brigade in 1906.

143 (West Midlands) Brigade, as it is now known, is an regional brigade of the 5th Division, based at Copthorne Barracks in Shrewsbury.

It now comprises the West Midlands Regiment, a TA unit at Wolverhampton, and possibly the Royal Mercian and Lancastrian Yeomanry (HQ Telford), a reconnaissance regiment, as well as other support units.
