France to Form Special Force to Fight Terrorists

[Boondocksaint375]

Why not? They only have 1,000 other units already



PARIS — France's Interior Ministry says it is grouping its elite police intervention units into a single force to better fight potential terrorist attacks.
Three existing units, comprising a total of 500 people, will be united under a single command. The anti-terrorism group will be called the Intervention Force of the National Police, known by its French initials, FIPN.
The FIPN will share the high-tech equipment currently used by the three existing units and will be able to intervene throughout the country.
Though its specialty is anti-terror operations, the force will also intervene in hostage-takings and provide security at major political or sporting events. The change was announced Tuesday by Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux.

The French just love bureaucracy. I guess is if shit comes up trumps they can always flip a coin to see who is in charge. Don't they have enough CT already?

Removed.

and it shall be called Le J'SOC

You can form all the units you want. Doesn't mean a shit if you don't let them fight.

Looks like a consolidation, rather than the opposite. Good move, I think.

Don't worry, you'll be training them soon.
