The Mobile Gendarmerie ((フランス語:Gendarmerie Mobile)) (GM) is a subdivision of the French Gendarmerie. The Mobile Gendarmerie is the inheritor of the traditions of the gendarmerie's historic infantry component. Specific anti-riot units of the Gendarmerie date back to the beginning of the 19th century. The Mobile Gendarmerie was given its modern name in 1921. The GM's main missions include: * riot control and ensuring the return to order * monitoring the territory and its dependencies * guarding significant points (embassies, stations, etc.) * defending the territory, providing reinforcements to the departmental Gendarmerie, and, in the last few years, * conducting external operations (Opex). Mobile gendarmes are frequently used to reinforce Departmental Gendarmerie and National Police units. It is nicknamed ''la jaune'' (the yellow) because, unlike the departmental Gendarmerie, it uses golden rank insignia, which in France traditionally indicates military branches on foot (as opposed to the silver or white insignia of traditionally horse-mounted branches). The GM has a dedicated training facility, the Centre national d'entraînement des forces de gendarmerie (National Gendarmerie forces training center). Each escadron (squadron) makes an 10 days internship every 2 years, to enhance its crowd-control and riot skills in a mock city. These facilities are unrivaled in Europe. ==Organisation== The territorial organisation of the GM is as follows: * 7 Gendarmerie Areas in Metropolitan France. * 25 Legions of Mobile Gendarmes including 1 armoured group of Anti-riot police in Versailles Satory * 123 squadrons, each one led by a captain. * 1 National Gendarmerie Intervention Group (GIGN) which gathers the older GIGN, EPIGN and GSPR to form a special operations unit able to deploy a 200 men hostage rescue team to manage a major crisis. * 7 special security groups. * 17.350 personnel. 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「Mobile Gendarmerie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
