The Air Transport Gendarmerie ((フランス語:Gendarmerie des Transports Aériens)) (GTA) is a branch of the French Gendarmerie placed under the dual supervision of the Gendarmerie and the Direction of Civilian Aviation of the Transportation Ministry. It has a strength of about 1,100 and is commanded by a general officer. Its missions are centered on airport security. It also carries out judicial inquiries pertaining to civilian aviation accidents. The GTA was created in 1953 out of existing airport gendarmerie specialist units created from 1946. The Air Transport Gendarmerie should not be confused with the smaller Air Gendarmerie, which provides policing for the French Air Force. ==Missions== The GTA's diverse missions include: * police and security in civilian airfields and airports * counter-terrorism * counter-narcotic activities * freight surveillance * surveillance of technical installations of the airports (control towers etc.) * traffic control on the roads within the airports * protection of important visitors stopping for a layover * judicial inquiries pertaining to accidents of civilian aircraft Personnel of the GTA cover a wide range of specialities, including security patrols, freight inspectors, counter-snipers, aviators, dog handlers, auditors, and health inspectors. All personnel follow an initial aviation-related course called ''Formation Aéronautique de Base''. Most personnel receive more specialised training at the ''École nationale de l'aviation civile''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air Transport Gendarmerie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
