The French Foreign Legion was founded in 1831 and was the vanguard of French colonial operations during the 19th century. The regiment has fought in Spain, Madagascar, Algeria and Southeast Asia for a long time. They are almost synonymous with France's long war in Algeria. In 1841, the Foreign Legion established a base at Sidi Bel Abbas, 96.5 km south of Oran. It became the regiment's spiritual home until France granted Algeria independence and withdrew its troops in 1962.

The Foreign Legion that exists in France today is a fully armed force that serves France with excellent equipment and a sound organization. The current organization of the corps is based on a regiment with 10 companies, plus some special companies (reconnaissance company, mortar company, light armor company, etc.) that increase the cost of the infantry company. The main units today are as follows: 1st Foreign Legion: stationed at Casena Viiano in Aubagne, this regiment is responsible for the administrative affairs of the entire regiment. It is also responsible for the band, with the 1st company responsible for managing the huge training camp, and in wartime the strength of the 3rd company must be allocated to defend the intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) base set up on the Abion Plateau. 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment: An infantry regiment with a total strength of 1,500 troops stationed in Bonifacia, Corsica. Each company of the regiment must take turns to train in commando and other special schools, and is often sent to serve in overseas detachments. . 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment: After the regiment left Madagascar in 1973, it moved to the Kourou base in French Guiana. 4th Foreign Legion: This regiment trains new recruits and junior noncommissioned officers (NCOs); stationed at Castelnaudary, France. 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment: Permanently stationed in Orange, this regiment is an armored unit affiliated with the 14th Infantry Division of the French Army. It includes 3 armored vehicle squadrons and 1 motorized infantry company. It was also designated as one of the advance units of France's foreign intervention forces. 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment: Stationed in Cote, Corsica, the regiment includes: regimental headquarters and 4 field companies. They pride themselves on their ability to arrive at any designated location in the world within 24 hours and deploy for operations. One company was regularly assigned to the 13th Light Armored Training Division. Fifth Pacific Mixed Regiment: The center is located in Muroa, and the Pacific Mixed Regiment also has detachments in Tahiti and Yanu. Its mission is to provide security, communications and power needs for France's nuclear test site in the Pacific. 61st Corps Engineer Mixed Battalion: This engineer battalion was established to build a training camp. It is said that it is currently under construction on the Cas limestone plateau in the Dordogne region. The battalion included a company of foreign infantry and a company of French Army engineers. Mayotte Foreign Legion Detachment: This detachment consists of two companies, commanded by an army lieutenant colonel, and is stationed on the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean. The island serves as a relay station to Reunion Island and is protected by a 250-member corps.

The use of weapons is the same as that of a normal modern army. Modern weapons are constantly replaced with the innovation of weapons.

Mexican Battlefield

The legendary history of the French Foreign Legion began on April 30, 1863, in the Mexican Battlefield. That day, while patrolling an infantry patrol team composed of 62 soldiers and 3 officers under the leadership of Captain Danjou, they were attacked by nearly 3 battalions of Mexican infantry and cavalry and were besieged in Camé. Hacienda Camarón. The patrol resisted the attack of the Mexican army in the manor. Although they faced a desperate situation, they still fought tenaciously and implemented their tenacious fighting will to the last man. Captain Danjou was mortally wounded during the defense of the hacienda, and his remaining men ended up engaging the Mexican troops in bayonet combat. In the end, the Mexican side asked the last remaining three regiments of soldiers to surrender, but they always insisted that the Mexican army must ensure that they maintained their battle flags and escorted the body of the fallen Captain Danjou back to his station safely. Faced with this situation, the Mexican commander lamented: "They are not human beings, they are devils" and agreed to their conditions out of respect. To this day, commemorating "Cameron Day" remains an important celebration of the Corps, and a wooden sculpture of Captain Danjou's hand is displayed at this event.
