- Commando_Parachute_Group abstract "The Commando Parachute Group (French: Groupement des Commandos Parachutistes, GCP)is a Pathfinder Commando elite parachutiste unit in the 11th Parachute Brigade of the French Army that is within the second "circle" of authority of the Commandement des Opérations Spéciales.Each regiment within the 11th Parachute Brigade (11e Brigade Parachutiste) trains one or two GCP teams from their own ranks, which then can act as recon, pathfinding or harassment forces for their home regiment, coordinating with the other GCP teams within the brigade or working independently behind enemy lines. More rarely the GCP is requisitioned by the French intelligence service (DGSE) to carry out sensitive or "black ops" missions. GCP teams are also trained to conduct hostage rescue missions in extreme cases.There are nineteen teams with about a dozen members each in the GCP, which is structured as follows: 1st Parachute Chasseur Regiment (1er Régiment de chasseurs parachutistes) (three teams of ten commandos) 1st Parachute Hussar Regiment (1er Régiment de hussards parachutistes) (two teams) 1st Parachute Logistics Regiment (1er Régiment du train parachutiste) 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment (2e régiment étranger de parachutistes) (three teams) 3rd Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (3e Régiment de parachutistes d'infanterie de marine) (two teams) 8th Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (8e Régiment de parachutistes d'infanterie de marine) (two teams) 17th Engineer Parachute Regiment (17e Régiment de génie parachutiste) (two teams) 35th Artillery Parachute Regiment (35e régiment d'artillerie parachutiste) (two teams) 11th Parachute Command and Transmission Company (11ème Compagnie de Commandement et de Transmissions Parachutiste (11e CCTP))The GCP was founded in 1965 as Équipes de Saut Ouverture à Grande Hauteur (SOGH, High Altitude Jump Teams or HAHO Teams). In 1982, the unit was renamed Commandos de Recherche et d'Action en Profondeur (CRAP, "Deep Action and Recon Commando") before being renamed again as Groupement des Commandos Parachutiste (GCP) in 1999. Apparently, the unit was renamed as GCP after a discussion between the commander of CRAP at the time, Lieutenant Colonel Pascal Chapoulaud, and a US Army officer whilst on operations. The US Army officer had asked the commander of CRAP if he knew the meaning of the word 'crap' in English. Lieutenant Colonel Chapoulaud replied that he did not know, and asked a translator what the word meant. The translator informed the lieutenant colonel that the word 'crap' meant the equivalent of 'shit' in the French language. The unit's name of 'CRAP' thus changed to 'GCP' after this event.The GCP had its first operational deployment in 1969 when the SOGH of 2e REP went to Chad. Ever since, the GCP has participated in many of France's military commitments, most noticeably in the War in Afghanistan (2001–present).".
