In late November 2021, legionnaires from the 2nd Foreign Engineer Regiment (2e REG) of the French Foreign Legion participated in Cerces 2021, an annual mountain warfare exercise held in the French Alps in Savoie, a department in southeastern France.
Exercise Cerces 2021 was a major annual large-scale maneuver of the 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade (27e BIM). The main objective was to maintain the capability of the mountain brigade troops to conduct operations in mountainous terrain. Cerces 2021 first took place in the Bauges massif and on the large Alpine firing range in the Valloire region. The maneuver lasted one week, from November 18 to 24. Nearly 1,200 mountain soldiers participated, including the legionnaires from the 3rd Company and Combat Support Company, 2e REG.
