Chasseurs Ardennais
The ''Bataillon de Chasseurs Ardennais'' (French; Battalion of hunters from the Ardennes) is an infantry formation in the Land Component of the Belgian Armed Forces. The unit, currently at battalion strength, is a part of the 7th Brigade. The unit was formed in 1933 when the 10th Regiment of the Line was renamed the Regiment of Chasseurs Ardennais, which it remained until 2011 when it was reduced to a battalion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mil.be/armycomp/units/index.asp?LAN=fr&FILE=&ID=580&MENU=1351&PAGE=1 )〕 It is named after, and based in, the heavily forested and hilly Ardennes region of Belgium.
==History==
The origin of the ''Chasseurs Ardennais'' starts with a concept conceived in 1914 by Colonel Bremer and pushed further by General Hellebaut in 1928: the creation of a corps on the east border of Belgium, near Germany, in order to protect against a German attack. On 10 March 1933, King Albert I changed the unit's name from ''10e de ligne'' to ''Régiment des Chasseurs Ardennais''. Subsequently these soldiers, stationed in Arlon, Belgium would wear the wild boar (emblem of the Ardennes) on their green berets. One regiment was not enough to hold the east lines, so in August 1934, the regiment was divided into three and a bicycle battalion was added. On 24 March 1937, three regiments were created: 1st, 2nd and 3rd ''Régiment des Chasseurs Ardennais'' they were located in Arlon, Bastogne and Vielsalm. Each unit was structured with one HQ battalion, three battalions to three companies of mixed cyclists (three ''packs'' of riflemen and three packs of MG) one motorcycle company each with each three motorbike squadrons, and one squadron with three T15 tanks; one company with four T-13 tanks armed with 47mm antitank cannons; and finally one medical company. On July 1, these were formed into a division. By the end of 1939 this division comprised 35,000 men.
