GIGN (Groupe d Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale)

GIGN (Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale) is a specialized French police unit trained to handle high-risk situations such as hostage rescues, counter-terrorism, and dangerous criminal operations. Operating under the French National Gendarmerie, they are highly skilled in tactics like close-quarters combat, firearms, and negotiation. Known for their discipline and precision, GIGN often works in secrecy and operates both within France and internationally to ensure public safety in crisis scenarios. Their purpose is to efficiently resolve threats that regular police units are not equipped to handle.
