there is a french short film called "R.A.S" which i believe may be based off of or inspired by this footage, as the setting and conflict is very similar. it is an amazing animation in my opinion and truly does show how terrifying it can be to go from constant sitting and waiting to the edge of death. the FFL is no joke.
I own a similar combat pack and that is actually the interior high visibility material so one can find gear in low light conditions. The packs are unzipped and open in a fire fight and not recommended in my opinion.

Well, regiments like the foreign legion are considered as dogs, they pht them into the worst places with the worst stuff like old guns and equipment so it’s common
I once met a veteran of the French Foreign Legion who had done the Campaign of France in June 1940. The legionnaires managed to put panic on 15 kilometers in the German troops but then the Germans recovered and reorganized...

I can’t believe I used to believe the stupid stereotype of the French being “lame” with their military. After learning about their defence of Verdun and how badass the FFL is, I’m astounded that the stereotype even exists in the first place.
The French public are lame in my opinion. They do not support their military and seem like entitled snobs. The actual French military especially the foreign legion seem really tough and brave
@@MarkT-ci6cr ok true. Well I see it both ways - I think it’s a sign of a highly developed society to be self-critical for important sectors like the military, to ensure that the moral use of modern forces is fair. But when that self criticism turns into a detracting aspect that has affected every NATO army, I do agree that people realize that it takes the insurance of a modern military like France’s to ensure that this highly developed society of self criticism can even exist in the first place. So ultimately the military and the people feed each other.

This looks like a training video. Given the right tools and equipment they probably get, the French Foreign Legion has some motivational reasons for individuals that join. They work with what they have and they pull from a group of "either you go to prison, or you join the Legion".
