Troupes coloniales


The ''Troupes coloniales'' ("Colonial Troops") or ''Armée coloniale'' ("Colonial Army"), commonly called ''La Coloniale'', were the military forces of the French colonial empire from 1900 until 1961. From 1822 to 1900 these troops were designated ''Troupes de marine'' ("Marine Troops" or just "Marines"), and in 1961 they readopted this name. They were recruited from mainland France or from the French settler and indigenous populations of the empire. This force played a substantial role in the conquest of the empire, in World War I, World War II, the First Indochina War and the Algerian War.
==Makeup of French Colonial Forces==

The ''Armée coloniale'' should not be confused with the famous North African regiments of the French Army such as the Foreign Legion, the Bat' d'Af', Zouaves, Spahis, Algerian Tirailleurs (sharpshooters) and Goumiers, all of which were part of the Army of Africa. The North African units date from 1830 and were brought together as the XIX Army Corps in 1873, forming part of the French Metropolitan Army.〔Anthony Clayton, History of the French Army in Africa 1830-1962, Albin Michel, 1994, p.21〕
Instead the ''Troupes Coloniale'' can be divided into:
#French long service volunteers (or colonial settlers doing their military service) assigned to service in France itself or as garrisons in French West and Central Africa, Madagascar, New Caledonia or Indochina; and
#Indigenous troops recruited in any of the above, serving under French officers. These were designated as ''Tirailleurs sénégalais'', ''Tirailleurs malgaches'', ''Tirailleurs indochinois'', etc. according to the name of the colony of origin. ''Tirailleurs sénégalais'' was the name given to all West and Central African regiments, since Senegal had been the first French colony south of the Sahara.
All colonial troops (''la Coloniale'' or the Colonial) came under a single General Staff. The ''troupes coloniales'' were predominantly infantry but included artillery units as well as the usual support services. At various dates they also included locally recruited cavalry units in Indo-China as well as camel troops in sub-Saharan Africa.
