Be a part of the news that makes the headlines ! By joining the French Foreign Legion, you are sure to be a part of the news that makes the headlines either in France on manoeuvres, or on external operations in French territories abroad... (French Guyana, New Caledonia, Mayotte, la Reunion, the French West Indies...) 


External operations

Whether restoring or keeping the peace, or exercising crowd control, the Legion has been able to adapt to all situations in all theatres of conflict (the Gulf War of 1990-1991; Kampuchea, Somalia in 1992-1993; Rwanda in 1994; Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia in 1993 to 2003; Central African Republic in 1996...).

Today, the legionnaires are engaged in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Chad, the Ivory Coast and anywhere else they might be needed by France. 




 The legionnaire's code of honor guides him wherever he may be asked to serve, in France or on operations abroad.
