About Troupes De Marine
The Troupes de Marine is a subdivision of the French Army that includes several specialities: infantry, artillery, armoured, airborne, engineering, and transmissions. Despite its name, it forms part of the Army, not the Navy. The TDM has gradually become professionalized since 1970.
