The Pioneers of the Foreign Legion ((フランス語:Pionniers de La Légion Étrangère)) form a unit of tradition. They lead and open legion parades during all honorific ceremonies of arms and wear beards, buffalo leather aprons ((フランス語:tablier de buffle)), and arm resting axes on their shoulders. The unit is considered the only of its kind and type in service within the French Army and France. == History of the Pionniers== Early in the XVIII century; small pionniers units, the axemen soldiers in the Grenadier combat companies see action in the corps regiments serving the French Royal Army.〔Decree of January 10, 1747 created, created 10 axemen soldiers integrated in each grenadier combat company〕 Their mission then was to mount assaults at the head of all combat units in order to destroy the obstacles created by the enemy. Following a rather aleatory presence under the French Revolution,〔général (cr) Jean Hallo, ''Monsieur légionnaire'', Lavauzelle, 2000, ISBN|978-2702503706〕 the pionniers reappear under the French Consulate, wearing hairy grenadier caps without the metallic plate. These units were dissolved in 1818 and recreated in 1812.〔 The French Foreign Legion retook, since 1831, that tradition which is still an integral part till present days. Unlike the Pionniers of the Foreign Legion; the remainder of Pioneer units in the French Army were dissolved under the French Third Republic. 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「Foreign Legion Pioneers (Pionniers)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
