Great Pictures. I had an opportunity to do some live fire training with some Legionares on a recent deployment, and I was very impressed. They are truely squared away soldiers. They presented my CO with a beret. Very cool guys.

Well, the owl is the symbol of the 1ère Compagnie de combat of the 2° R.E.P. It stands for sharpness and precision.

I didn't know that. Did they bring the owls with them or are they locals?

As always Ralf, great pics!

It's not everyday you see pictures of Legionnaires in action! Btw, what regiment were you in? I know a guy that spent 6,5 years i 1e REI! He's my go to guy when I want to know something.. Always good to be prepared before you embark on something like this...
