In November 2019, two elite units of the Foreign Legion’s 2nd Foreign Engineer Regiment (2e REG) conducted a joint exercise to train an infiltration mission into hostile terrain. See the video.
The 2e REG’s Engineer Combat Divers (PCG, ex-DINOPS) and Mountain Commandos (GCM) trained side by side a neutralization of a hydroelectric power station in order to prevent the enemy from accessing its main source of energy.
Both units are elite formations within the regiment as well as within a brigade they are assigned to. Every legionnaire of the regiment can apply as a candidate for a difficult selection to become a combat diver or a mountain commando.
