Regiments of the French Foreign Legion (documentary)
Previously, the legion was not stationed in mainland France except in wartime. Until 1962, the Foreign Legion headquarters was located in Sidi Bel Abbès, Algeria. Today, some units of the Légion are in Corsica or overseas possessions (mainly in French Guiana, guarding Guiana Space Centre), while the rest are in the south of mainland France. Current headquarters is in Aubagne, France, just outside Marseille.

the Foreign Legion serious bad asses. Few can claim to have been in the Foreign Legion but those that do, should be very proud. this was a great documentary on one could say very secretive military organization. But it was very enjoyable and informative. Thank You Maharbal5022

Brian rep Hi im thinking of joining the legion I need to ask you some questions about the safety of the regiments and do you get to choose your regiment?
Does the FFL have their own choppers, or do they borrow them from the regular army? Was that a Puma at 11:50-12:45? Do they ever use the Eurocopter Tiger?
wow , good video, perfect
The Best 2Rei..:)

interesting.... but before we get all fired up about the FFL training, go to US Marine Combat Infantry School.. then come back and tell me which is harder.

The basic training in the legion lasts for about 4 months, after that you get divided in regiments. It's all on their website.
