Description
The appearance of the "Leclerc" tanks at the National Day parades is always an event, both for the spectators and for the men who manoeuvre these steel monsters. With its impressive vehicles, the armoured and cavalry army has been one of the most important components of the army since the Second World War. The "Arme Blindée Francaise" (ABC) was officially formed in North Africa in 1943 and has since proved its worth on all battlefields and especially during the Liberation.
However, the first French armoured units were created during the First World War, and the decades 1920-1930 were very important for their development - until the catastrophe in May/June 1940. Since 1945, the armoured and cavalry army has undergone numerous redesigns, both doctrinally and materially, but still remains the spearhead of the French army. Colonel (RS) Pesqueur, head of GE 501 between 2004 and 2006, looks back on the history of the ABC from its origins to the present day.
