Troupes d' Intervention Spatial

The Troupes d' Intervention Spatial are elite elements of the French Army attached to the MSIF and are the very cutting edge of French intervention capability. Highly trained and lightly equipped, the TIS work with the French Space Navy to prop up French foreign policy anywhere in the human sphere. The TIS are made up of four 'Brigades d' Intervention' all manned by Foreign Legion or Marine Para battalions. A further three special operations force battalions are also present.

1^e Brigade d' Intervention

The 1^e BI is stationed on Beta Canum Venaticorum-4, and works with the MSIF 3^rd Fleet. It is composed entirely of Foreign Legionnaires and is sometimes wrongly referred to as the 1^e REP by Anglophone sources.

2^e Brigade d' Intervention

The 2^e BI is nominally stationed on Tirane but actually spends little time there, co-ordinating instead with the 2nd Fleet. The stable situation in Tirane means that the 2^e BI is often the first to be called on to provide troops for contingencies. The I/8^e RPIMa has been recently deployed to Aurore for example.

The 3^e BI is nominally stationed on Earth and is designated as the primary stand-by brigade for reinforcement of the French Arm in the event of hostilities not confinable by forces already in-situ. In addition it can be called upon to deal with any problems arising in the Sol system, and elements of the force are stationed at Gateway.
