  We consider Yang-Mills theory with $N{=}1$ super translation group in eleven
auxiliary dimensions as the structure group. The gauge theory is defined on a
direct product manifold $\Sigma_3\times S^1$, where $\Sigma_3$ is a
three-dimensional Lorentzian manifold and $S^1$ is a circle. We show that in
the infrared limit, when the metric on $S^1$ is scaled down, the Yang-Mills
action supplemented by a Wess-Zumino-type term reduces to the action of an
M2-brane.
