You understood correctly. I think it's very possible since Europe must accept that specialization is now the name of the game and France is best placed to assume this responsibility. As I said, to make it more palatable, reps of the EU can be integrated/recruited and if I'm not mistaken, there is a Spanish FL too, right? Perhaps they could also form part of the new Rapid Response Force. WIth the EU collectively funding it, it could be greatly expanded while drawing upon French experience and expertise.

 

 

I agree with you, the FFL could be in charge of training a rapid response force, knowing that France has training facilities in the desert, jungle and mountain (the alps I mean) and has the biggest firing range in europe for anti tank missiles,artillery, etc (arf I can't remember the name,  I just know it's in southern france though). It  makes sense.

However, what language will they speak?

English seems to be the most obvious response but a too little proportion of french soldiers speak it good enough, I suppose its the same for the spanish, italians, greeks and portugese to name a few.

The germans and nordic countries are more likely to be better in english, I know that from personnal experience.

British soldiers obvisoulsy speak english but the british army does not need to be trained they have the best training in the world and they already use some of France's  training facilities (maybe so do the germans, italians,etc but I do not  know about it).

I suppose if everyone makes the effort of speaking english it could work. In the worst case scenario they could use translators...

Know concerning the equipement...there is not problems  when it comes to helis and missiles,  plus european fleets have a good interoperability (again, is that a word?). But when it comes to infantry carriers and tanks ? Everyone brings its own?

It's a good idea but I still have problem realizing how it could be done. But again, my knowledge of international joint operations is very very very small so I might be missing something.

GoG you should write to the European Comission, pretend to be from the DoD^^

Haha ok buddy, i'll put it on my To-Do list :)

I heard a tremendous amount of BS, the biggest one being ALL LEGIONAIRES ARE FOREIGN.
I also read the same BS in posts on SP.

This information is not so wrong, however there might be some misunderstanding due to translation:

The term "légionnaire" only means the lowest rank soldiers - and these guys aer indeed foreigners. So if you translate this term with "legioanires" then the statement is correct - however if you mean by "legioanires" all members of the legion then the statement is wrong.
