{{Unreferenced section|date=July 2023}}
Brand entered the [[Illinois Army National Guard]] on October 23, 1939, as a private in Company F, [[129th Infantry Regiment (United States)|129th Infantry Regiment]]. He was enlisted in the [[United States Army]] as Corporal Neville L. Brand, infantryman on March 5, 1941. He trained at [[Fort Carson]] and served in World War II, seeing action with B Company, 331st Infantry Regiment of the 83rd Infantry Division (Thunderbolt Division) in the [[Ardennes]], [[Rhineland]] and Central European campaigns. Brand, a [[sergeant]] and platoon leader, was wounded in action along the [[Weser River]] on April 7, 1945. He was shot in the upper right arm and nearly bled to death.

Brand was awarded the Silver Star, the third-highest decoration for [[Courage|valor]] in the U.S. military, for gallantry in combat.<ref name=":0" /> His other awards and decorations were the Purple Heart, the [[Good Conduct Medal (United States)#Army Good Conduct Medal|Good Conduct Medal]], the [[American Defense Service Medal]], the [[European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal]] with three [[Service Star|Battle Stars]], one [[Overseas Service Bar]], one [[Service Stripe]] and the [[Combat Infantryman Badge]]. In a 1966 interview Brand explained the Silver Star, stating that withering fire from German machine guns in a hunting lodge kept him and his unit pinned down. "I must have flipped my lid," he said. "I decided to go into that lodge." He was discharged in October 1945.

Brand was sometimes cited in media reports as the 4th most-decorated American serviceman of the war, but this was incorrect and repeatedly denied by Brand himself.

After his discharge, Brand worked on a 1946 [[U.S. Army Signal Corps|Army Signal Corps]] film with [[Charlton Heston]] and next settled in [[Greenwich Village]] and enrolled at the [[American Theatre Wing]], working [[off-Broadway]], including [[Jean-Paul Sartre]]'s ''The Victors''. He also attended the Geller Drama School in [[Los Angeles]] on the [[G.I. Bill]].<ref name="latobit">{{cite news |title=Neville Brand; Tough-Guy Actor, Decorated War Hero |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-los-angeles-times-neville-brand/71924198/ |access-date=June 7, 2023 |work=Los Angeles Times |date=April 18, 1992 |page=A 22}}</ref>

Brand had uncredited roles in ''[[Battleground (film)|Battleground]]'' (1949) and ''[[Port of New York (film)|Port of New York]]'' (1949). His first credited part was in ''[[D.O.A. (1950 film)|D.O.A.]]'' (1950) as a henchman named Chester. His hulking physique, rough-hewn, craggy-faced looks and gravelly voice led to his largely playing gangsters, Western outlaws and various screen "heavies", cops and other tough-guy roles throughout his career.

Brand was uncredited in ''[[My Foolish Heart (1949 film)|My Foolish Heart]]'' (1949), ''[[Where the Sidewalk Ends (film)|Where the Sidewalk Ends]]'' (1950) (both starring Dana Andrews), and curiously ''[[Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye (film)|Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye]]'' where he plays a significant early role as James Cagney's fellow chain gang inmate, (1950) but had a good role on TV in ''[[The Bigelow Theatre]]''. His parts slowly grew bigger: ''[[Halls of Montezuma (film)|Halls of Montezuma]]'' (1951), ''[[Only the Valiant (film)|Only the Valiant]]'' (1951), ''[[The Mob (film)|The Mob]]'' (1951), and ''[[Red Mountain (film)|Red Mountain]]'' (1951).
