- A squadron of the 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment intercepts two jihadists in the Liptako Gourma region, close to the borders of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso. Jihadists might have belonged to the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara.
March 2020
Opération Barkhane is a French-led operation taking place in Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad. These countries have gathered in the G5 Sahel to coordinate their efforts against terrorist groups. Opération Barkhane was launched on August 1, 2014 and has been tasked with fighting islamist insurgency in Sahel region, after the victorious French-Malian offensive to recapture Northern Mali from these groups.

Voodoo Child777 oh pretty please
We see french as asskisser
Keeping his sheet together and making warning shot while having 2 armed hostile within 100m. That's fire discipline.
He also did not shoot beceause his main gun seems to have been jammed
That's nuts. Warming shot with two armed hostiles 100m away? And 45 Legionaries have been in this mess since 2014?! That's terrible.
Keep better care of your guns to save life (in both sides).
This is not a full video，I would rather to believe the soldiers had done the appropriate warning. 为所有失去的生命默哀！
sdvvs eezfs the soldiers initiated the fights..the fires shits first somthey shit back at he French..people’s are armed there and defend themselves when shot at
Wow, imagine if the mounted machine gun didn’t jam..
Ironically it probably wouldve saved them (the two killed) as a dozen rounds fired fully automatically may well have made them surrender.
Sabo 55 Well, it was Gods will for them to leave earth.

Embarrassing weapons skills from the Lieutenant Arthur.
@@SenorTucano he started with warning shots so how can you say that?
"Dans une guerre il n'y a ni vainqueurs ni vaincus. Il n'y a que des perdants". L'éthique de la légion étrangère l'a compris. Bravo à votre professionnalisme les gars 🇫🇷
Outstanding and noble French military tradition fashioned over centuries, what a reliable ally for the US!
What an example i woud say...
Great job guys! Big respect from Poland
🇫🇷🤝🇵🇱
The speech at the end by the officer was awesome. There is no joy, just do the job and get on with it. Very professional.
That officer is a true military professional.
It's in their Honor Code.
Art 7. In combat, you act without passion and without hate, you respect defeated enemies, and you never abandon your dead, your wounded, or your arms.
Even though I agree with you, these are 2 things that, lets' say, fight each other. If you do your job with no joy, you are not doing it well enough. If you do it with joy, something is wrong with you, since your job may be killing other people. If you don't enjoy your job, just quit. This is a job that it affects the soldiers' personalities.
This is why, at WW1 or WW2, on prisoners executions, only one riffle had a real bullet. That all soldiers wouldn't feel guilty.
Yeah killing for money veeeery professional !
Exactly, just STFU, do the job, don’t ask questions.
What a remarkable speech at the end. Such admiration and respect for his fellow man even in time of war and death. He’s a great leader for his troops.
Wished that i knew before my Dad passed ... Now I'm learning about Legionnaires
In the armies of old Europe there is, generally speaking, a moral tone that is not seen in other modern armies. Honor, respect for the enemy ... absence of hate in their actions. There is a lot of professionalism and good work in what they do. From Spain: Respect for the foreign legion.
Yup, just dispatch the enemy then head in for a siesta or high tea or cocktails. Civilized warfare.
I think its just that its hard to respect your enemy when they are terrorists. Its different from when one country simply went to war with another. France Vs Germany is different then France Vs Terrorists.
Jms S that’s a wrong way to engage in warfare especially when you’re against a barbaric enemy.
@@thejoester1011 This is not france this is the Legion it has its own mentality and culture.
@@vatravlahilor492 Yeah...the French Legion

@@vrt.7521 Note that the main nationality of entrants is french.

@@rservajean I've seen in a documentary that French citizens can't join the legion
@@BB-nd1rp Yes they can: www.legion-recrute.com/mdl/page.php?id=17, but when they enlist it is officially as a belgian for example. Note that all officiers must be french, but exceptionally it can be different (10% are foreigners : www.legion-etrangere.com/mdl/page.php?id=81 ). For example, Lieutenant Arthur of the video is 100% french, you can hear it by his accent and his name as well as the guy doing the speech at the end.
I’m gonna be doing more than lightly jogging if some dudes are shooting at me
They practically don't even care because they believe they will go to heaven as a hero when they die lol
I cant run forever. Can you?
Yes, you will. You will not be able to do it long in 45°C.
They'd likely shat their pants by this point and were being overcome by adrenaline
Your in middle of the desert with no cover being pursed by multiple armored vehicles. I don't think how fast you run really matters.
French Foreign Legionnaires some of the best fighting troops in the world, all the best to them fighting jihadists in North Africa from an Englishman
There is no jihadists in north Africa only soldiers, And if the french foreign legionnaires landed on our lands that is an act of war and we are totally up to it.
@júba zahirov 🧐 shut up 🤫
@Anthony Lalangleydon't get me wrong i'm against terrorism in all its forms, but what i hate most is when foreign forces landed on others shores claiming they are there to fight terrorism while they aren't really doing that.

@Anonymous usera197 The Lieutenant sounds very French as most of the officers of the FFL (my great grandfather was an officer in the FFL, I can tell that he was French) ... And 15% of the legionnaries are in fact French.
And as far as I know, the FFL is a regular corps of the French army with the same regulations.
Youre very naive if you think he didnt celebrate afterwards. His east european, african and South American pals surely were giving him names like terrorist slayer.
"Call the doctors, we have to save them"
Everybody know the jihadists would never act the same way to try to save us.
Did you watch the video?
The leaders speech in the end sums it up pretty nicely. Our combat is worth doing it only if we do it with the values which are ours....
You can not disregard your values because the opponent does not follow them.
@@peteraugust5295 Im not criticizing the Legionnaires... Actually they did a perfect job.
Im talking about the jihadists.
Just imagine if the result was the other way with the jihadists capturing one legionnaire.... What would happen to him? Demembration? Decapitation?
Video show west values even in war event.
If they do treat them then they have struck gold. They WILL be interrogated and the WILL give up information.

Killing an ENEMY is always a good time to cheer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man has been celebrating the death of their enemy's since ancient times . If you ever had to shoot men in combat you would understand. I fought in Fallujah as a US Marine in 2004 . I had my firefights and and I felt joy in knowing that I put down a terrorist , knowing that he wasn't going to kill another serviceman or cut off another civilian neck in front of a camera for propaganda. Fk yeah you feel good about it
You try not cheering and being happy when you have taken out someone that is trying to KILL you

As much as I respect these men, the way they do their job but also their mentality... I'd never waste even a second trying to save a jihadist's life.
Anyway, amazing speech by the officer at the end. Even though I'd disagree with him, I still have mad respect for him and his fellow comrades.
An Outstanding report....everything about it was well done. It brings to light just how fast it all happens and how it ends just as quickly. The Legion is unique for many reasons, but something that stands out is that each Legionnaire takes a very specific and detailed oath when they graduate from their initial training that is a key part of their ethos...to respect their enemy and treat their enemy with dignity. The last words of the Commander about the importance of fighting the enemy with "our values" says a lot about the Legion.
N'oubliez pas chèrs Français, que le combat contre ce mal c'est aussi au sein même de vôtre nation. Respect à votre armée !
Taisez-vous malheureux ! On va vous traiter de rasciste !

The stoppage on the machine gun could of been a game changer , but he reacted effectively and changed to his famas. Nerves of steel
almost comical how they run away and he got much time to take his rifle out

Bravo, situation vraiment bien gérée.
Tir court mais entre l'incident de tir, les vibrations du Pvp, et le palpitant qui tape à 10 000, c'est vraiment pas évident.
Prenez soin de vous les gars
Surtout qu'on a pas tous les éléments de contexte, et qu'une partie des tirs famas qu'on voit peuvent être de sommations.
@@sdvvseezfs3572 Jusqu'à 1:36, je pense que ce sont des tirs de sommation, vu qu'il met un temps d'arrêt juste avant que le mec se retourne et pointe son arme en direction des FFL et là il spamme la gachette (pour neutraliser).
Je précise, c'est une supposition, je suis pas un expert
When serving for UN in Mogadishu in 92/ 93 I had compound duty that day. While pumping water from the truck a Legionnaire approached me and asked for where Burger King was located in the US Embassy compound. Then I realized he spoke Norwegian to me and he told me they had walked through Mogadishu to the camp. That made a big impression on me! Legionnaires, though as nails. Stay safe and on point my friends 👍❤
Legionnaires are truly the back bone of the French military. Outstanding job.

My uncle was German and join the foreign Legion. They changed his name and he became a French national. Retired from the French foreign Legion.
@ Lots are French citizens. It's changed now. But - you have to use a different name for part of, or your whole first hitch.
Tell it like it is.
Can't believe the machinegun jammed on first contact! Merde!
Warning shot 😂 his gun had a stoppage L
Strong work! Much respect from America. Stay safe and thanks for fighting for our values and freedom.
This video as a whole shows why the French Foreign Legion is on another level
I was dead set on joining the legion and I really wish I would've before I had my kids, I could never leave them now, I really respected their discipline and commitment to being soldiers, there's something very professional and no-nonsense about them which I can appreciate

I admire the Legionnaires who executed their mission well, seemed to give the Jihadists time to cooperate or face the consequences. The American Marines (SEMPER FI!), Army, Air Force, and Navy - especially the Corpsmen who tend the wounded, have been on thousands of patrols, seen things which should never be seen, and bravely stood the test of combat. But in addressing the troops to keep them all informed at the end, I was especially moved to hear the officer say, "One does not celebrate the death of anyone." And a moment later says, "...Our combat is worth doing if we do it with the values which are ours."
Why have I not heard those sentiments more often from the Americans? I know almost every one of them has duty, honor, and courage, plus the integrity to know these things. But instead of hearing from them, we glorify snipers who kill the most people from nearly impossible ranges. We still seem to care about the body count rather than the most important part of the mission...
The mission isn't to land the most people quickly and take charge... install a "green zone" and hope the indigenous troops won't suddenly open fire on the men training him. The mission isn't about war-fighting and taking over land once occupied by the enemy. Those military objectives are secondary, they help make the real mission possible. The REAL mission at hand is to bring aid, comfort, and relief to hurting people. Why are we fighting, otherwise? We aren't expansionists in real estate the way we used to be. But what is it about Afghanistan and Iraq that rated American invasion and "assistance" when we totally ignored the outright slaughter in Rwanda?
Is it because Iraq sits on a lot of oil? The oil that we want our petrochemical countries to get their hands on while Rwanda didn't offer much in natural resources other than gorillas?
I posit that the reason the US has the largest annual military budget in the world is that we have to constantly defend our monetary Imperialism. The late US Marine Corps General Smedly Butler is revered for his loyalty in accomplishing the mission given to the Marines. But he didn't like it. After retirement, General Butler said he felt like a paid hitman for Wall Street. And you know what? There was a reason he felt that way... that's exactly what this hero and honorable Marine was... a hitman for Wall Street. As long as we have hitmen as talented as the late General, we'll have to defend our selves with higher and higher budgets. A bully has to do that. He's got to get more power so he can continue to push people around.
Maybe if we could listen to the words of the Legionnaires and Only combat is only worth doing if we have the right values. America needs to practice what it preaches. Here's a country all bent out of shape because their country, given to them by G-d, is threatened by poor Hispanics fleeing from the same "Banana Republics" the US set up. We're so afraid of the Muslims, we forget they are worshipping the same G-d as Christians and Jews. Poverty has driven them into al Qaeda and ISIS/ISIL just as it has driven Hispanic refugees northward to their rich Uncle Sam.
The poverty that threatens all is the rampant and uncontrolled capitalism that makes its money by the exploitation of the poor. As long as America strong-arms the rest of the world, we'd better keep building bombs. But remember, this is becoming a guerilla war, not one of land and borders. Remember how well we did against Vietnam, a country so poor people lived on scraps of food unless they were from the privileged Catholic class like Diem. We spent all the money we could and sent 52,000 Americans to die. Do you think it was just to stop Communism? Hell no, the Americans thought there was oil under the Tonkin Gulf. Even now, as people drop dead by the thousands, Trump is working on deals to cut production and raise prices so the multi-trillion-dollar oil industry receives its relief.
If we keep rattling the sword, the guerillas are going to know just where we are.
From Legionnaire's Code of Honour: "Au combat tu agis sans passion et sans haine, tu respectes les ennemis vaincus, tu n'abandonnes jamais ni tes morts, ni tes blessés, ni tes armes."
---> "In combat, you act without passion and without hate, you respect defeated enemies, and you never abandon your dead, your wounded, or your arms."

Alot of people with negative comments. You need to remember these jihadis were armed and firing . Unless you've been to war or operated in a war torn country you cannot comment. Great job lads very professional. Also his weapon jammed it happens he had a back up. My weapon jammed first firefight in Helmand. Stay safe and strong. Respect to the legion.
May I say that the commanding officer handle the situation extremely well. I would follow him that's for sure. Respect the opposition.
Merci les gars 🙏🇫🇷

Now there is an officer I'd gladly serve under!
The officer looked a bit freaked out, definitely.
His NCO though. MAN, that NCO could calm one down even under nuclear bombs raining.
NCOs are everything in the FFL.
To become NCOs you must have been enlisted before. You cannot graduate and go through roght away. It's an exception unique to FFL in the French Army.
It gives experienced and tough as hell NCOs.
Because they are not here to deal with whiners. Enlisted Legionnaires are quite tough to handle as when they start, they are from very different background, cultures, mentalities, and sometimes even from enemies countries. Without strong leadership and discipline (and some slaps in the face) they would all disband quickly in a culsterf#ck.
Officers are usually arriving from Military School and are all French (no Officer cannot be french in the FFL).
@@48grainsoffreedom Clearly. There are few things which give you a sense of respect and trust without theatrics and by subtlety.
The NCO's manner of speaking (that too in what is probably not his native language) was really calming.
@@RiseAgainst786 That's not an NCO, it's the OC of his Squadron (He's wearing a "Commandant"'s rank on his right arm. The Lt did a good job.

@@RiseAgainst786 Not an NCO . Captain or Major. What's more, he has no accent. Native speaker.

Eh oui il faut impérativement ne pas oublier nos valeurs, et le Lieutenant a bien raison de le rappeler lors du débriefing. Le respect on le doit à tout le monde, même notre ennemi. C’est parce qu’on oublie pas pourquoi on a décidé de se battre qu’on reste fort 💪🏽
Grand respect à tous nos Hommes qui se battent loin de leur terre natale
C'est le Capitaine.
MrShadym98 mdr ça c’est bien un discours d’officier ou fils d’officier qui ne connaît rien au combat de près ou de loin c’est de l’imaginaire c’est le snobisme des officiers français qui croient que les guerres c’est encore celle du 18 eme avec “messieurs les anglais tirez les premièrs” sauf que c’est fini ça la on a des ennemis qui tuent des enfants pour y foutre des explosifs à l’intérieur d’eux et les utiliser comme mine on a une armée qui fait des frappes “tactiques” ou t’as des dizaines de civils qui meurent . Bref rien d’honorable
J'aurais été certainement à leur place il y a 25 ans en tant que sous-off de cavalerie. Personnellement, ça fait deux pourris de moins. Je m'en réjouis et je me dis qu'il ya beaucoup encore à faire. Par St Georges, vive la Cavalerie !
@@yolfio3873 the officer was correct in the way he addressed his men. An army without discipline is nothing but a mob.
