The French foreign legion's 13 DBLE and 1 REG take part in ARC 21- Japan

Описание: ARC 21 kicked off on 12 May 2021 with the Royal Australian Navy, Marine Nationale, JMSDF and US Navy in waters off the coast of Kagoshima, Japan. La France sent a frigate and the pride of it's fleet the 'Tonnerre' an amphibious assault helicopter carrier. It also sent the pride of it's 6th light armored brigade spearheaded by the 13DBLE and the 1st REG. The troops were on the Tonnerre for a total of 10 weeks, more than enough time to get their sea legs.
The video shows the assault and clearing of an occupied building by legionnaires accompanied by an observer (with the beige colored helmet). It is clear that this is the first time that the legionnaires have entered the premises. An excellent try run for them, as I don't have to remind you that when the SAS went into Princess Gate, they had spent hours rehearsing different scenarios.
I'm not comparing the two situations, I'm merely pointing out that it is with this kind of training that you become the best. The French have a saying: it is by (being a blacksmith) that one becomes a blacksmith. c'est en forgeon qu'on devient forgeron. We would simplify that to: practice makes perfect.
This was the final exercise in a joint Ops consisting of Australian, French, Japanese and American forces to share experiences, tactics, and to sharpen their skills together
