Explications :
Some Foreign Legion regiments (1st REG, 2nd REG, 4th RE, DLEM) still have, occasionally or permanently, groups of pioneers (usually a non-commissioned officer and nine legionnaires), but the traditional section is in the 1st Foreign Regiment and has three NCOs and thirty-six rank-and-a-side members.
It is this section that opens the parade of Legion troops during the July 14th military parade on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. She was also employed at the Battle of Camerone commemoration ceremonies on 30 April at the 1st Foreign Regiment to supervise Captain Danjou's wooden hand-carrier.
If the Legion parades are opened by this unit, it is to maintain this tradition of sappers "opening the road", always ahead, to grief, as to honor3. On the other hand, it is also a way of honouring the NCOs since it is one of them who parades at the top of all the elements of the Foreign Legion.
