Before being deployed to French Guiana (South America), the legionnaires of the 1st Foreign Engineer Regiment (1er REG) took part in several military exercises outside France. They were trained for being fully operationally capable to carry out well their mission in Guiana.
The 1er REG legionnaires participated in an amphibious exercise in Belgium and in an FIWAG (Fighting in the woods and forest) exercise taking place in Spain. Both exercises occurred last month, in April 2018.
