@@benla4062 The urban action training center (CENZUB) is used for urban combat training of French Army units. It opened in 2006 in the Sissonne camp, in the Aisne department, on the site of the former hamlet of Jeoffrécourt. It resumes, as of July 1, 2014, the name and traditions of the 94th Infantry Regiment. Principle Founded in 2004, the CENZUB - 94th RI's mission is to train the combined arms tactical subgroups (SGTIA) in the fundamentals of combined arms combat in urban areas and confined spaces in order to enable them to reach an operational level adapted to contemporary combat. The trained units are equipped with means of simulation (transmitters and laser receivers on the personnel on foot and the vehicles) in order to make the training as realistic as possible. This training center is armed by the 94th infantry regiment and is located on the Sissonne camp with an area of 6,000 hectares. History of CENZUB Listed area, religious center. 1990s: reflection on the need to create such a camp within the Army following France's involvement in the Balkan conflict. 1999: decision to create a unified training center for the Army. 2003: choice of the Sissonne camp to host this structure. 2004: beginning of the creation of the CENZUB, the expansion of the existing combat village. 2006 (September): opening of the CENZUB with passage of the first company to the center (a company of the 1st regiment of parachute hunters). beginning of 2008: beginning of the creation of the town of Jeoffrécourt. 2011: opening of CT ZUB. 2012: delivery of Jeoffrécourt. 2015: end of the initial work of CENZUB, fully operational. 2021: delivery of the Confined Space Combat Training Complex (CECEC)3 Means The operational center.

The 94th infantry regiment is the permanent unit responsible for designing, conducting training and evaluating the army units that come on rotation to the Sissonne camp. The 94th Infantry Regiment has about 450 civilians and soldiers and is made up of four companies: The command and logistics company (CCL): it provides rotation support (simulation system, maintenance, supply, infrastructure upkeep) The FORAD (“opposing force”) is made up of around a hundred soldiers in black fatigues playing the role of the enemy during exercises; the unit is versatile, reconstituting either a conventional force, a militia or a civilian population. The combined arms FORAD company is structured around three infantry sections on VAB or AMX 10 P, a platoon of four tanks (AMX-30 B2), and an engineering section equipped with EGRAP and EBG, as well as a command section organized around a TC1. This unit, mastering the AZUR combat, taking advantage of the experience acquired thanks to the returns of its soldiers projected on various theaters of operations, presents the importance of the principle of subsidiarity essential to urban combat. The 2nd company is mainly made up of AZUR instructors, TIR instructors and TIR initiators. Its mission is to instruct, train and simultaneously control two combined arms tactical sub-groups in the field of maneuver in urban areas and a section with four groups in the field of area fire on the urban area fire complex (CT ZUB) .

I am an ex-Soldier from the Canadian Army. From what I read of the French there, was that this is the Premier or First Para Regiment, that is the "1er" that you see early on. The French are one of the largest suppliers of arms in Europe so their kit is pretty awesome. Love the Channel. Cheers. 🇨🇦
Ex-Canadian Forces here too. Growing up, I was ignorantly under the wrong impression about the French due to the Blitzkrieg of WW2. Now that I'm older & can educate myself on things, I've come to realize France is NOT the country to screw with. Great kit, and maintain the ability to exercise their own foreign policy. (Fun fact - France is actually NOT a member of NATO. Everybody thinks they are, but they are not. They maintain a modern carrier with Rafale jets, nuclear submarines, and a decent domestic arms industry so they can support their own foreign policy. The interests of the EU & NATO often overlap, so France quite often contributes to NATO operations - but not an actual member.)
@@chrisburke624 France was always a member of NATO, in fact France was a founding member of NATO they just left the Integrated Command of NATO in the 60's but joined again in 2009, even tho they refused to take part of the illegal NATO intervention in Irak in 2003, they participated in THe lybian campaign of 2011 being the biggest participant in the campaign, in the ex-yougoslavian wars and in the Afghanistan war, with the last French plane leaving Kabul 3 days before the last American plane. They are actually leading the NATO detachment in Romania and have several planes and vehicles in the Baltic under Nato Command.

My apologies...should have Google searched it before posting 🤦♂️ I don't know much about the force structures or the ORBATS of NATO currently, and it would make sense they were a founding member. I had just thought, for some distinct reason, that France wasn't technically a NATO member, but who's various interests overlapped. Canada didn't participate in Iraq either. Our leader at the time decided to commit fully to Afghanistan, and fought for the Canadian Forces to take charge of the fight in Kandahar - thus leaving us a good excuse to not commit to Iraq.

3:41 This is the EC Tiger, the European version of an attack helicopter and most comparable to the Ah-64. The Tiger is used for anti-tank and tactical reconnaissance as well as ground/air support. But only the French version of the Tiger is also equipped with a 20mm Borad gun. The German version has to do without it. Why? Only the Ministry of Defense knows.
The Tigre is only equipped with the 20mm because it's made in France, Germany don't have the helicopter branch of Airbus when France though it was a good idea (it wasn't) to sell for cheap some of it's share to Germany so they would be more reliable allies and wouldn't stop France from pushing an European made army away from american made vehicles and weapons as only France have the capacity to do so.
maybe the tiger and a French helicopter and if you look at any military vehicle sold abroad the country that makes the vehicle always has options specific to are country of creation
This isn't SOF, it's a special operations capable unit just like GCM, SAED, PRS. French SOF is: 1er RPIMA, CPA 10, 4eme RHFS, 13EME RDP, every commando marine unit, etc... Correct me if I'm wrong
@@alpha_parachutiste1431 They are a unit part of a commando group belonging to a French landforces airbourne regiment that support the French Special Ops. Basically there is two things: The French SOF units and the French Commandos groups (GCP and GCM), the French SOF are the units you already mentioned but the special ops command can also use the commandos groups if need be. The GCP and GCM aren't technically SOFS, but train a lot with the SOF units and are capable to do SOF missions. SOFS are a scalpel for surgery use only, commandos are really really sharp knife that might aswell be a scalpel and also often used for surgery anyway.
I wonder how our army can be so effective and talented without any budget lol! By the way, Franch Airborne military are the first in the world to jump with dogs with some special suit design for k9.
4:25 yes, the indoor shooting range is former mining facility. Fun fact , the owner is a private security company created by a former Légionnaire. The main advantage of this facility as shooting range is that you can shoot around on 270°: you have bullet prof walls and roof everywhere. They can even drill with cars and stuff like that.
Salut et bonne et heureuse année un abonné qui apprécie en connaisseur et les vidéos et la personne, un salut de France, Peace, Paix en Ukraine, nos AMX 10 RC vont encore les aider un peu plus, pour l'hélicoptère c'est un Caïman(NH 90), et un Tigre.

*non military guy* if you go lower does it make second guy any faster? does it reduce exposed area (specially chest)? is your movement more elastic? am I trippin? Im actually interested in those kinds of things
I believe it was more to reduce or lower their center mass on entry so the enemy would be forced to aim lower than expected. The lower center of gravity might also provide a more stable platform when leaning through the doorframe
The chasseur in the French army are light infantry units. The Germans copied it with their Jaeger troops. The 1er RCP is based in Pamiers in the Pyrenees
French para régiments all have GCP... Meaning groupe commando Parachutiste. They are company size. They qualify for Halo and Lalo, infiltration and recon, advance air control, etc. In some cases they do underwater river infiltration.
For clarification, GCP's focus is Air infil, the underwater AO is reserved for the PCG/DINOPS who are all paratrooper qualified as well (not MFF however).
The French army has commando elements in most of it's combat regiments, but those groups are under army commandment, not COS (the french equivalent to SOCOM). In the case of the paratroopers it's typically recon elements for screening and marking drop zones.
To try and shed light on the way the term Commando is used in France, there are 2 types of Commandos : -Commandos within the COS (Belonging to Special Operations Command) -Commandos within Regiments (Easiest way to compare is the likes of how the USMC operates Special Operations Forces (Marsoc per say) vs Special Operations Capable (Think Force Recon for example). The GCPs are regrouped between all the Parachute Regiments of the Army and Legion and belong to the 11th Parachute Brigade, they can work for the GAOS which falls under COS. Hope this helps.
I commonly see guys who have the back plate running too low, this is why I prefer a 2 band cummerbund as it allows for separate ride heights of the plate bags and therefore the plates for proper fitment, often times with the standard issue plate carriers which are very big and usually have a full body coverage they tend to cause guys to run the back plate low as the system is poorly designed for balance and forces them to run it low on the back.
All GCP are in reserve to the COS which is the Commandement des opérations spéciales. The french special operators from the Army, the AF and the Navy which is a single centralized command
4:41 I guess the reason why they put those in their training field is so these guys can learn not to be distracted by eye-catching ads you find in many places, which is kinda smart.
1er RCP means 1er Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutiste. After the Algerian war when colonial troops were integrated in with regular army units, para régiments from colonial troops became Rpima litteraly Regiment Parachutiste infanterie de marine. Those already in France Régiment de chasseur Parachtiste
You might like the documentary in TH-cam called ''PATHFINDER PLATOON'' - Documentary 'The Phantom Platoon' A slower one at some bits but goes into the early days of Britain's Pathfinder Platoon and how they actually got organised politically and set up within the modern day British Army. Those lads are often considered today as the SAS's baby brothers.
So, we have of course, special forces regiments, like the 13e RDP (ground army), and the commandos regiments, like the Commando Hubert regiment (marine army), we also have Airborne Commandos, like the CPA10 (air army), but they are used to guard bases more than fight. Don't get me wrong, they're still fairly well trained soldiers, but not as much as some elite regiments and they think of themselves like terminators so it's kind of like an inside joke lmao But we also have, in some elite regiment like where I was, some "commandos", like desert commandos, arctic commandos, marine commandos, etc... depending on the regiment speciality. Those were teams of ~30 men that were both attached to the regiment, and the Special Forces Command, able to train the personnel of the regiment and assist them in their domain of predilection The 1er RCP in the video is one of those cases

I did 15 years at 8°R.P.I.Ma. Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment. I know the 1° R.C.P. Regiment of Paratroopers. You should know that there are GCPs in all the parachute regiments... All the French paratroopers are commandos... Close to the guerrilas and the punch actions... I did Chad twice, Yugoslavia and the Gulf War. I saw the Americans...Their food is disgusting...Otherwise they are nice...Ah ah ah I am of Russian origin and I was a French parachutist...Today I am retired and I I have a good retirement... Long live Russia.
They are actually GCM. The M is for Mountain. The difference is they are not paratroopers. They are paraglider troopers. They are the only units in the world that I know of which do night paragliding. This is difficult( say the list) and very dangerous. They are also expert in scouting and preparing technical ways in high altitude for the Alpine troops.
The transport helicopters are the NH90 and is used by a number of European aremed services, although some are phasing them out as they heve not performed to that services satisfaction, the same can be said for the Australian Army and Navy who are swapping over to Blackhawks.
Nah, the French version of the British SAS is the 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment. These guys are more like the British Paras. They're not-quite Special Forces. They've got a lot of choice in equipment, they've recieved a lot of specialised training and a lot of resources get devoted to them, but they're not under Special Operations Command. If Special Forces are a man down and need someone to fill the numbers, they'll grab someone from this regiment though. That's how good they are. I might be mistaken though, I think these guys could be pathfinders. And I'm not sure whether pathfinders are SF or not in the French Command structure. Either way, they're absolute badasses.
@@bakersmileyface pretty sure the French commando paratroopers were created during the second World War on the model of the British SAS. My dad was in the airborne paratrooper commandos in the 50s.
@@fredt3727 That is true. But this was indeed the 1er Regiment Parachutistes d'Infanterie de Marine, now 1er RAPAS that was based on SAS/formed by French volunteers of SAS of WWII. Not these guys. France has a lot of SF style units.

@@bokane1963 BTW, France beat Britain in the American War of Independence, several of the Napoleonic Wars, beat England in the 100 Years War, fought just as hard as the UK in WWI, and resisted in WW2, as well as forming the Free French...
Because in 1066 you didn't wave the white flag did you. I am pretty sure when that WW2 British propaganda is forgotten and when people like you go back to dust, history will tell a very different story. Just like the English didn't wave the white flag in 1066, nor did they ran scared like dogs at Dunkirk with their tail between their shaky legs (French propaganda), nor was Napoleon a midget scared of rabbits, nor did the French wave the white flag without fighting. History is very different when you understand the context and when you are there, than when you read the sun newspaper and other feel good propaganda outlets in times of peace.

I commonly see guys who have the back plate running too low, this is why I prefer a 2 band cummerbund as it allows for separate ride heights of the plate bags and therefore the plates for proper fitment, often times with the standard issue plate carriers which are very big and usually have a full body coverage they tend to cause guys to run the back plate low as the system is poorly designed for balance and forces them to run it low on the back.
Any chance of a photo(s) of what you are talking about? I'd love to see the problems / solutions that are out there related to body armour.

@@Kieran.Walsh. thanks so much!
Commando, fast moving in depth operation by a group with specific know how. Good video keep it up 🇨🇵🇺🇸
All GCP are in reserve to the COS which is the Commandement des opérations spéciales. The french special operators from the Army, the AF and the Navy which is a single centralized command
3:40 Tigre helicopter :)
Chasseur para !
4:41 I guess the reason why they put those in their training field is so these guys can learn not to be distracted by eye-catching ads you find in many places, which is kinda smart.
1er RCP means 1er Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutiste. After the Algerian war when colonial troops were integrated in with regular army units, para régiments from colonial troops became Rpima litteraly Regiment Parachutiste infanterie de marine. Those already in France Régiment de chasseur Parachtiste
You might like the documentary in TH-cam called ''PATHFINDER PLATOON'' - Documentary 'The Phantom Platoon'
A slower one at some bits but goes into the early days of Britain's Pathfinder Platoon and how they actually got organised politically and set up within the modern day British Army. Those lads are often considered today as the SAS's baby brothers.
So, we have of course, special forces regiments, like the 13e RDP (ground army), and the commandos regiments, like the Commando Hubert regiment (marine army), we also have Airborne Commandos, like the CPA10 (air army), but they are used to guard bases more than fight. Don't get me wrong, they're still fairly well trained soldiers, but not as much as some elite regiments and they think of themselves like terminators so it's kind of like an inside joke lmao
But we also have, in some elite regiment like where I was, some "commandos", like desert commandos, arctic commandos, marine commandos, etc... depending on the regiment speciality.
Those were teams of ~30 men that were both attached to the regiment, and the Special Forces Command, able to train the personnel of the regiment and assist them in their domain of predilection
The 1er RCP in the video is one of those cases

Premier régiment de chasseurs parachutistes 🫡
I did 15 years at 8°R.P.I.Ma. Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment.
I know the 1° R.C.P. Regiment of Paratroopers.
You should know that there are GCPs in all the parachute regiments... All the French paratroopers are commandos... Close to the guerrilas and the punch actions...
I did Chad twice, Yugoslavia and the Gulf War.
I saw the Americans...Their food is disgusting...Otherwise they are nice...Ah ah ah I am of Russian origin and I was a French parachutist...Today I am retired and I I have a good retirement...
Long live Russia.
Merci pour votre service. De plus Castres est une jolie ville
Tiny me swimming in my body armour and wishing they had smaller
French hve the best mil prod video
RCP : régiment chasseurs parachutistes
Other units, like the Alpine troops and the Engineers of the foreign legion have GCP
They are actually GCM. The M is for Mountain. The difference is they are not paratroopers. They are paraglider troopers. They are the only units in the world that I know of which do night paragliding. This is difficult( say the list) and very dangerous. They are also expert in scouting and preparing technical ways in high altitude for the Alpine troops.
If only SF would use their skillset to actually protect France from what the state is doing to it
The transport helicopters are the NH90 and is used by a number of European aremed services, although some are phasing them out as they heve not performed to that services satisfaction, the same can be said for the Australian Army and Navy who are swapping over to Blackhawks.

Are they rocking SCAR L or SCAR H or both?

This is the french SAS, right?
Nah, the French version of the British SAS is the 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment.
These guys are more like the British Paras.
They're not-quite Special Forces. They've got a lot of choice in equipment, they've recieved a lot of specialised training and a lot of resources get devoted to them, but they're not under Special Operations Command. If Special Forces are a man down and need someone to fill the numbers, they'll grab someone from this regiment though. That's how good they are.
I might be mistaken though, I think these guys could be pathfinders. And I'm not sure whether pathfinders are SF or not in the French Command structure. Either way, they're absolute badasses.
@@bakersmileyface Roger that
@@bakersmileyface pretty sure the French commando paratroopers were created during the second World War on the model of the British SAS. My dad was in the airborne paratrooper commandos in the 50s.
@@fredt3727 That is true. But this was indeed the 1er Regiment Parachutistes d'Infanterie de Marine, now 1er RAPAS that was based on SAS/formed by French volunteers of SAS of WWII. Not these guys. France has a lot of SF style units.
@@bakersmileyface As I understand it, pathfinders are part considered to be SF in France. This is the brigade they're part of. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11th_Parachute_Brigade_(France)
👍
Really awesome
I'm no expert, but aren't airborne/parachute troops always special forces here in Europe?
No
They use HK 416'S.
My mistake it was SCAR.
Salut, correction infime mais utile HK 416 F pour (France) Bonne Année 2023 and PEACE!
@@marc9080 les GCP n'utilise pas l'hk416f
The GCP ( Groupement Commando Parachutiste) belongs to the french special forces.
Watch the documentary about the Uzbin embush
Hi! It will be very interesting to see your reaction to the combat video of the KRAKEN special unit of Ukraine "ШТУРМ НОВОСЕЛІВСЬКОГО | СПЕЦПІДРОЗДІЛ ГУР МОУ КРАКЕН | SPECIAL UNIT KRAKEN | ASSAULT OF NOVOSELIVSKY"
MH90 transport helicopter and Tiger is the French version of the Apache.. Australia has brought them and had no end of trouble with them
It's nh90 and the Australian government is just hypocrite. Their critique was the availability of the aircraft. And then they bought an aircraft with an even worse maintenance. Politics...
That tells you the dismal level of aussie tech units. To their defense it's hard to work when you are pissed
That's a lot of training to wave a white flag
Shit joke. Im from an English family and even I can acknowledge that France has won more battles in the last millennia than almost any other nation
Do you even have an army where you come from ? 😂😂
@@matthiasprc4828 Britain? We did once yeah and if my history is correct we were pretty effective too...
@@bokane1963 BTW, France beat Britain in the American War of Independence, several of the Napoleonic Wars, beat England in the 100 Years War, fought just as hard as the UK in WWI, and resisted in WW2, as well as forming the Free French...
Because in 1066 you didn't wave the white flag did you. I am pretty sure when that WW2 British propaganda is forgotten and when people like you go back to dust, history will tell a very different story.
Just like the English didn't wave the white flag in 1066, nor did they ran scared like dogs at Dunkirk with their tail between their shaky legs (French propaganda), nor was Napoleon a midget scared of rabbits, nor did the French wave the white flag without fighting. History is very different when you understand the context and when you are there, than when you read the sun newspaper and other feel good propaganda outlets in times of peace.
It's a pathfinder regiment, not special forces
Special operation capable
