In the terrible time when war was the order of the day for all generations, the Infantry was " taught" to the children of France with raw, direct, somewhat caricatural words like-us. But they were authentic and did not try to hide their patriotic vocation...-tick. As such, all weapons and subdivisions of weapons were described with the same "sobriety". Today, we smile about it. In the imaginations of the children of that time, familiar and disappeared faces would light up again when reading this alphabet..

If like the entire army of Earth, the Infantry 2020 is a function high operational technology, committed to processing head SCORPION capability, the rusticity of the Infantry must yet stay whole thing. "Without horses": the times have changed and the use of our machines armoured, is decisive with their power of fire, their mobility, the links and autonomy that they bring to us, the collective intelligence they're taking on board with CONTACT-SICS1positioning systems, simulation On-board, sensors and other detectors coupled via vetronics to armaments, jammers, etc. But we must also know how to do it without, in a highly contested environment or by deliberate choice of discretion."No guns: because there have always been those of the Artillery.

Today, still relying on the Artillery, our capacities internal curved fire capabilities are also a determining factor, although less powerful, with the Mo 81mm, the LGAs2 40MM, the LGI3...or shooting beyond direct view... MMP4 and spotted fire made considerably more easy and effective with remote-controlled weapons. We will never know how to do without indirect fire. Let's know they will continue to save us in combat and to victory.

This issue of "FANTASSINS" raises many points of thinking about high technology and innovation, it traces the continuation of capacity building, by especially with the equipment at man-height of the Military Programming Act and it highlights the necessary firepower for combat, that our space FELIN wants to make this a reality.

The internal support of the Infantry and the Artillery will be with SCORPION, enabling a total blaze of fire. You will note as I do some similarities between these end-of-editorial illustrations. The complementarity between weapons is decisive. The combination of the manoeuvre and lights will be all the more accelerated and reinforced with SCORPION that we will be attached, right now, to relearn and maintain full employment... of our weapons systems, as much as we maintain our tactical training.

"The admirable fire of the fighters shot down everything they had... in front of them while the artillery was firing machine-gun fire", it was the Palikao Battalion on September 21, 1860. These are the InterArmy battlegroups engaged in operations in 2020, and this will be even more the case for GTIA SCORPION. The Directorate of Infantry Training (DFI) of the School of Infantry will receive the 2nd Fighter Foot Battalion pennant shortly. Your cadre in formation will always remember these pages of glory ofthe "2" supported by the Artillery.

May Saint Maurice watch over you.
