Moroccan Goumier
Moroccan Goumiers were soldiers who served in auxiliary units attached to the French Army of Africa, between 1908 and 1956. The term ''Goumier'' was also occasionally used to designate native soldiers in the French army of the French Sudan and Upper Volta during the colonial era.
==Description==
The word originated in the Maghrebi Arabic word ''Koum'' (قوم), which means "people". The non-specific designation "Goumi" (French version "Goumier") was used to circumvent tribal distinctions and enable volunteers from different regions to serve together in mixed units for a "common" cause.
In French military terminology, a ''goum'' was a unit of 200 auxiliaries. Three or four goums made up a ''tabor''. An ''engine'' or ''groupe'' was composed of three tabors. A goum in this case was the equivalent of a company in regular military units and a tabor would thereby be equivalent to a battalion. A tabor was the largest permanent goumier unit.
Each goum was a mix of different berber tribes mainly from the Atlas mountains of Morocco.〔(Bimberg, Edward L. ''The Moroccan Goums: Tribal Warriors in a Modern War'' )〕
