I have run a search to see if this has been addressed somewhere else, but did not find much of anything. I hope I'm not breaking any rules.
I met a QP some time ago who told me that he was working alongside soldiers from France's 1er RPIMa, in Afghanistan.
I did not ask him many questions at the time, but I wonder how much contact (training, exchange programs,...) there is between the 1er RPIMa and US Army SF, since the 1er RPIMa is the equivalent of SF in the French Army.
If any QPs have fought or trained with the 1er RPIMa and do not mind sharing this type of information, what is your opinion of this unit, and how similar or different are they from US Army SF?
If this has been covered elsewhere, or if this is not the right forum, let me know.
