Els membres de la Brigada Mid-Ulster formarien part de l'anomenada , aliança lleialista que el Pat Finucane Center relaciona amb almenys 87 atacs letals als anys setanta. Una part important de la Brigada, especialment la unitat de Portadown amb el seu líder Billy Wright, va ser expulsada oficialment el 2 d'agost de 1996 per la direcció de l'UVF de Belfast després de l'assassinat d'un taxista catòlic durant un alto el foc. La resta de la Brigada, però, va continuar funcionant a la zona, i els anys 2000-2001 va estar involucrada en una dura disputa amb la Força voluntària lleialista (LVF), el grup creat per Billy Wright. En el marc d'aquesta disputa el membre de l'UVF Richard Jameson va ser assassinat a trets per la LVF.

Two of the most notorious attacks in the history of the Troubles were carried out by the Mid-Ulster Brigade: the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings and the Miami Showband killings in 1975. Members of the Mid-Ulster Brigade were part of the Glenanne gang which the Pat Finucane Centre has since linked to at least 87 lethal attacks in the 1970s. The brigade has been active since 1972. The Portadown unit along with the brigade's leader Billy Wright was officially stood down on 2 August 1996 by the UVF's Brigade Staff (its Belfast leadership) following the brigade's killing of a Catholic taxi driver during a UVF ceasefire. The brigade, however, continued to function in the mid-Ulster area. In 2000–2001 the Mid-Ulster Brigade was involved in an acrimonious feud with the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF), the group set up by Billy Wright. It was during this feud that Mid-Ulster brigadier Richard Jameson was shot dead by the LVF.
