See nice photos of legionnaires from the Foreign Legion’s 4th Squadron, 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment (1er REC) and the 4th Company, 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment (2e REI) during Operation Sangaris taking place in the Central African Republic (CAR), in August 2015.
2e REI: Well-trained legionnaire
See a video with a well-trained legionnaire from the 4th Company of the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment (2e REI), a unit based in Nimes, southern France, during a regimental challenge. Not knowing exactly what challenge it is and when did it take place (maybe 2e REI Christmas Challenge 2014), anyway, it must be said that the legionnaire (probably of Hungarian origin) is really in good shape…
3e REI: USAF general visited the legionnaires
A few days ago, the French Foreign Legion launched an official video showing general Raymond from the US Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) during his visit to the Guiana Space Center (Centre spatial guyanais, CSG) located near Kourou, French Guiana and protected by the 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment (3e REI).
13e DBLE will be stationed in France in 2016
In 2016, the 13th Demi-Brigade of the Foreign Legion (13e DBLE) will move from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to be stationed in France, for the first time in the regiment’s history. The 13e DBLE is one of the last two Foreign Legion’s regiments which have never been stationed in Europe (together with 3e REI).
