2e Régiment Étranger de Parachutistes, 2e REP. The only airborne regiment of the French Foreign Legion. Constituted in Algeria in late 1955, it has been stationed near the town of Calvi, Corsica, since it moved there from Algeria’s Bou Sfer in mid-1967. The 2e REP actively participated in the Algerian War (1954-62). In 1978, it became popular around the world thanks to the successful operation in Kolwezi. The regiment took over the number, traditions, and history of its predecessor, which fought in French Indochina between 1949 and 1954: the famous 2nd Foreign Parachute Battalion (2e BEP, 1948-1955). The 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment also incorporated men of another two Legion airborne regiments: the 3e REP (in 1955) and the 1er REP (in 1961). In recent decades, the 2e REP has taken part in several military operations and conflicts, including those in Chad, Zaire, Iraq, ex-Yugoslavia, Ivory Coast, Afghanistan, Mali, and Niger. Its legionnaires also deployed to Djibouti, Lebanon, Rwanda, Gabon, Somalia, and the Central African Republic. We also have the 2nde, 3e Rep and the 1er Rep in hats, tshirts, Polos and hoodies.
