From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(French for "Fusilier Commandos of the Air")

These personnel of France's Armée de l'Air are equivalent to the United Kingdom's RAF Regiment or the USAF's Air Commandos. They are airmen armed and trained as soldiers, who provide ground defense of air bases and secure forward base areas; they also participate in combat search and rescue missions.
