[@shpontz]

I'm a former FFL officer and I served 8 years with the 1st Foreign Cavalry (1er REC), including the first Gulf War, Africa and Bosnia. I’m glad to share here a few details about the Legion. It is important to understand first that the French Military is a very old institution, set as a professional force during the Middle Age, with core values coming from the code du chevalier (“knight’s code”) and the Monarchy, Napoleon’s era, colonial empire and the decolonization period, WW1&2 etc. As a result, traditions, corps, missions and commitments are very diverse. For centuries, it has been a tradition in France to hire foreign volunteers in specific regiments within the Army framework. French Kings always had foreign troops to their service, usually coming from loyal or controlled vassal states or principalities (Swiss, German, Italian, Belgium etc). The Republic has simply maintained the tradition. Almost all officers (90%) of the Légion Etrangére (LE) are French, mostly from Saint-Cyr, except a small proportion coming from the ranks. The Legion is made of foreigners, is under regular Army command, with the same equipment and organization. The Legion is not a special force or a militia. It is an elite corps of the French Army with different people and adapted rule of procedure. Within the Army, there is a strong competition between the Legion and the Marines (named Troupe de Marine, or “Coloniale”, which also belongs to Army). Regiments of the Legion are sprat among three Brigades of the Army (out of 13 brigades); the 6th Light Armored Brigade (2nd REI, 1st REC, 1st REG and recently 13th DBLE back from Abu Dhabi), the 11th Parachute Brigade (2nd REP), the 27th Alpine Brigade (2nd REG) and overseas deployment (3rd REI in Guyana and DLEM in Mayotte island). An initial training Regiment (4th RE) and a small administrative and recruitment unit (1st RE) are directly under the command of the Foreign Legion Command (COMLE), headed by a Brigadier or Major General, simply nicknamed “Père Légion” (Father of the Legion…), who reports directly to the Army Chief of Staff Legionnaires are NOT mercenaries; they don't fight for money (monthly wage, the "solde", is the same as in the Army), or for ideology, not even for French citizenship, which is difficult to get, unless you are wounded in combat (Français par le sang versé, “French by spilled blood”). They are volunteers under contract, to serve France, a country they hardly know, but they fight for the Legion: the motto is “the Legion is our fatherland” - Legio Patria Nostra in Latin. The Legion offers them a new start, a new identity, a family, with rules, discipline, limits and even a future. Contracting with the Legion does not imply to abandon your first nationality. Around 140 different nationalities are represented in this 8500+ strong force. On purpose, around 25% are francophone of even French origin but enlisted under a different nationality. All NCOs are from the ranks. Those highly professional NCOs are the true strength of the Legion. Few become officers. Women are not permitted. “Honneur et Fidélité” are fundamental values (when regular Army motto is “Honneur et Patrie”). A Legionnaire serves with honor, and is loyal to the Legion. In the legion, traditions are very important, numerous and highly respected. They evolve slowly but regularly and are listed in the Recueil des traditions de la Légion Etrangère, set by a special Committee. They include a specific uniform (with the famous Képi Blanc), the Boudin marching song (“We shall soon all perish according to tradition…”), the Code of Honor, slow pace marching and many, many more. Criminals are not accepted anymore, and there is a very serious and long check on each candidate, with Interpol assistance. Selection is very harsh, as there are 9 candidates for one “seat”, probably the highest rate worldwide for a conventional military force. The main strength of the Legion is its unique cohesion, based on people from different culture and background, all ready to start a new life and to fight for their new family: their comrades in arms from the Legion. Selection, training and equipment are important, but they would not make the difference without tradition and this “esprit de corps melting-pot”, which is unique to the Légion Etrangère. Vive la Légion ! (long life to the Legion !)

Thanks for that ,very interesting comment. The French Foreign Legion has a great reputation worldwide.

[@amesbancal]

shpontz excellent thank you

[@coeurdelion1193]

Merci mon ami. Thank you for explaining that. I am an American of french heritage. My great grandfather came to America from Quebec. My ancester came from Chambois, Normandy France to Quebec in 1620. Growing up in America in the 1960s I can tell you I suffered under horrible anti-French persecution. It was so bad that my generation was the first not be taught french. I've had to learn my french language from scratch. I do not understand the American anti-french sentiments. The legion has just been lumped into it. It''s bad enough that in my youth I tried to hide my heritage. But I could not hide my french name. Even American institutions were anti-french, especially schools. You would have to live through it to understand how intense the persecution was. The french cajuns in Louisiana went through it too. Now, in my late 50s I have learned french. Whenever I hear Americans being anti-french, I remind them of just who it was that helped them win their independence. I am very vocal about it now. Vive la France! Vive la légion!

The family held a memorial funeral for him, attended by a few hundred French soldiers.....it was a very moving ceremony.....his honour guard was formed by retired (mostly seriously injured/crippled) Legionaires, who sang two of their regimental songs......five weeks later, we were invited to take part in elementary parachute training, jumping three times from an old WWI French Artillery balloon under which was suspended a wicker basket....the jump master was an old Legionaires......I still have the French Army parachute badge.....one of my most treasured parachute badges.....I have, to this day the highest esteem for the French Foreign Legion......vive la Legion Etranger !

[@edwardsieferman1205]

The L.E. always march at a stately 88 steps / minute, whereas the remainder of the French Army proceed at the much-brisker clip of 120 steps / minute (which, I believe, is considered "at the quickmarch" in the US Army). As such, they are always placed "last" in a review. I believe the unit from which the L.E. originated was comprised largely of soldiers from Hanover and other Northern European nations & principalities; perhaps therein lies the answer as to the "why" of their slower gait...? Je ne sais pas!

For the ignorant comment about "being gay"-This "Legion Etrangere" formation is one of the Legions combat engineering regiments-A regiment that goes back almost 200 years-hence the beards, aprons and axes!

[@Kalantinus94]

hi, I assume you are French. Can you tell me what most of French think think about Legion? (foreigners in french army) Do they consider them as ruthless mercenaries or do they respect them?

[@alexmichaels1878]

+Duk Duong I am not French, I am American. I have followed the stories and history of the Foreign Legion. I have met Legionnaire's from the 2nd REP while serving and have had a "few drinks" with them. As to what most French people think about them, I do not know that. I respect them as the professionals that they are, as do other military units across the world, including American special forces.

[@aAaMiryah]

+Duk Duong I am french and i can say taht in france the Legion mens are more respected than the "common" army men. Because the requirement to enter and serve in the legion is one of the most difficult on earth, and that the legion soldier from all the legion's branches are some of the most respected soldier of all countries and army forces arround the globe. Even if a lot of ppls are considering the legion soldiers as ruthless mercenaries, because only a few member are native french citizens and a a very little can speak french decently. But when it goes to give it trust, the french ppls will more easyly give it to teh legion than the regular army forces.
