Gauge theory approach to consideration of the Nambu-Goldstone bosons as gauge and vector fields represented by the Cartan forms of spontaneously broken symmetries, is discussed. The approach is generalized to describe the fundamental branes in terms of $(p+1)$-dimensional worldvolume gauge and massless tensor fields consisting of the Nambu-Goldstone bosons associated with the spontaneously broken Poincare symmetry of the $D$-dimensional Minkowski space.
