@neolithic

Instead of spamming/flaming this national forces thread and to evade moderation while still
respecting your agenda, why don't you learn to write titles and messages and open a topic?

Just a suggestion, Tay.

Men of the first Hmong Bataillon armed with MAT 49 and MAS rifles, French Indochina. The Hmongs are an Asian ethnic group from the mountainous regions of China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Hmong are also one of the sub-groups of the Miao ethnicity (苗族) in southern China. Hmong groups began a gradual southward migration in the 18th century due to political unrest and to find more arable land. During the first and second Indochina Wars, France and the United States governments recruited them during their wars in Vietnam.

The 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment (French: 2e Régiment Étranger de Parachutistes, 2e REP) is an Elite Airborne Commando Regiment in the French Foreign Legion. It is a part of the 11e Brigade Parachutiste and the spearhead of the French Rapid reaction force.

@Vauban sir, I learnt in a documentary about the GIGN that it is forbiden under French law to broadcast the faces of the unit members, what exactly does the law state and which units does it extend to?

Hi sir,
Sorry for the late answer.

I found that in the 'article 39 sexies' of the law dated from 29th of July 1881 (modified in 2006) concerning the freedom of press,forbids to reveal (by any means) the identity of police officers,gendarmes and soldiers belonging to special units whose missions require for security reasons the respect of anonymity. If a journalist violates this law,he could be punished with a fine of ~15.000€ .

I couldn't find the equivalent in english but here's what it says ;

"Le fait de révéler, par quelque moyen d'expression que ce soit, l'identité des fonctionnaires de la police nationale, de militaires ou de personnels civils du ministère de la défense ou d'agents des douanes appartenant à des services ou unités désignés par arrêté du ministre intéressé et dont les missions exigent, pour des raisons de sécurité, le respect de l'anonymat, est puni d'une amende de 15 000 euros."

Concerning the Gendarmerie it applies to the personnels of ;

• 1° Le groupe d'intervention de la gendarmerie nationale.
  
  2° Les groupes de pelotons d'intervention.
  
  3° Les pelotons d'intervention interrégionaux de la gendarmerie.
  
  4° Les groupes d'observation et de surveillance.
  
  5° Le bureau de la lutte antiterroriste de la sous direction de la police judiciaire de la direction générale de la gendarmerie nationale.
  
  6° Le groupe appui opérationnel de l'office central de lutte contre la délinquance itinérante.
