[edit] Contradiction: ranks

This article:

  • regions - general
  • legions - colonel
  • groupements
  • compagnies

Ranks in the French Army:

  • légions - général de brigade
  • groupement - colonel
  • brigade - lieutenant

Could anyone with any knowledge on this subject fix either this article, or the Ranks in the French Army article? Shinobu 19:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

This is normal, the terminology varies according to the arm. Both are corect. Rama 21:26, 4 December 2005 (UTC)


The areas of responsability between Police Nationale et Gendarmerie Nationale are not 10.000 unhabitants but 20.000 unhabitants. (french gendarmerie Officer)
