The 58th Mechanized Infantry Brigade (58机械化步兵旅) is one of the three maneuver elements of the 20th Group Army in the Jinan Military Region. The 58th was one of the first divisions converted to a brigade sized formation in 1999. This was part of the PLA's effort to experiment with a Corp-Brigade-Battalion force structure instead of the traditional Corp-Division-Regiment structure. The 58th is one of the units of the Jinan MR tasked to serve as one of the mobile response elements capable of reinforcing Groups Armies in other Military Regions in case of emergency or war.
