Yes.
Although some units of the FFL are heavy artillery, or front line combat specialists, they certainly see their share of real life world wide combat situations. The super elite units of the FFL are the airborne regiments based in Corsica. The 2 Rep. They have Urban Combat, Mountain, Water, Sniper and Demolition units which are the spearhead of the French Rapid Reaction Force. They are extremely elite and perhaps the best in the world. They are certainly on par with probably the two other best known elite units in the world the US Special Forces and the British SAS. Although being comprised on foreigners, the FFL elite units typically see more real combat time that other units around the world. They are seen as somewhat politically acceptable losses in classified operations as they are not French born. FFL is very very difficult training both mentally and physically. I watched a documentary on the Legion: Simple advice, if you don't enjoy running, don't join. The Legion epitomises soldiering at the most basic level, You are given an order: you obey the order. Nothing else will do.
