Formed in 1973, the French GIGN (or Groupe d'intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale) is the specialized anti-terrorism force for the French Gendarmerie. They were originally formed to combat hostage situations, but their scope has expanded since then. They were most notably used in 1994, during the Air France hostage raid. They're most well known for their navy blue uniforms, and their favored use of the Manurhin MR 73 revolver, although this is no longer used in the field.
