5th Company Unity of Intervention of Reserve

Like all the professional regiments, 21st has a Unity of Intervention of Reserve . The 5th company of the 21st Regiment of Marines is made up of approximately 80 personnel resulting as well from the national service as from the active one. Good number of the porpoises and frameworks of the 5th Company are originating in the Weapon and a growing number of old of the 21 comes to strengthen the rows of the unity each year.

This at the same time professional composition and Troops of #8C2A1D made it possible the company to quickly go up in power to see itself entrusting real missions. Some had opportunity of leaving in (Djibouti, ) or (Operation Unicorn #FFFFFF Coast).

 

The company is integrated perfectly in the Regiment. It is a company with whole share with a strong Troupes identity of Navy.

Taken of Weapons to the Camp

 

The activities of the 5th company break up into ain categories

1.Les periods of instruction
 
 The instruction which is in the middle of the activities of the company, generally proceeds over 3 days: Friday Saturday and Sunday.

 

During these periods of instruction, each one has its level of responsibility (Steam Generator, TE, foreman, team leader, section head) For the theoretical, practical exchange rates with the regiment or on the ground are with the program.

 

A setting in situation on the ground and a exercise of synthesis in unity made up, allow the improvement and the evaluation of each personnel.

The instruction takes again the fundamental ones of the infantryman: the shooting, the combat, executives of command, topography, the ,…

2. Interior Operations
 
 It is a question of filling in an autonomous way of the missions entrusted to the regiment,
 
  the summer (control of forest belts, fights against the fires)

 
 The Vigipirate Missions which represent an important party of the missions of the 5, supplemented sometimes by porpoises of the companies of combat: evidence of the confidence which the Chief of police testifies to us.

3. Military Preparations.
 
 The 5th company with the responsibility to frame the military preparations discovered, commando and frameworks.

The military preparation discovered, effective tool to wake up certain vocations, constitutes a first approach of the military medium. Based on an act of voluntariate, it intervenes with resulting from the day of appeal of preparation to national defense. with for objective causing a certain accession with the organization of military defense and better doing to perceive the spirit of defense as well as the value which is referred to it.

 

4. Training courses and formations
 
 We follow the conventional course:
 
 According to degree of responsibility , foreman, team leader, section head, commander d' Unité

 

Come to be added the specialities (, examinations of foreign languages, fight locality,…).

5.
 
 The regiment can call upon personnel of the 5th Company for departures or , evidence once more commitment and professionalism of our personnel, as well as confidence of 21st .

 

To conclude

The commitment in the operational reserve is before a whole act of voluntariate. It is a component with whole share of the armed forces. The reserve brings together men and women who chose to serve the Nation. It is also a fish pond of experts and specialists who, by their intimate knowledge of the world of defense allow to sensitize French with the stakes of Defense.

It constitutes an irreplaceable link between the armies and the civil society. As all animated of the same spirit of service as the soldiers of active, the personnel of the 5th Company interdependent, responsible, are justified. They nourish and generate at the same time the cohesion and the team spirit which make the force of the Weapon of the Troops of #8C2A1D and particularly with 21st .

Arrival of the race of guideline in mountain: determination and physical condition. The 21 Eighth note and Holds!
