 EPIGN
EPIGN is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
After the tragic events of the Munich massacre during the Olympic Games in 1972, and a mutiny in Clairvaux the next year, France started to study the possible solutions to extremely violent attacks, under the assumptions that these would be extremely difficult to predict and deflect.
The GIGN is divided into four groups: negotiation, special equipment section (mechanics, video, weaponry), a language group (individuals specialized in teaching foreign units), and a technical group which provides the unit with modified and high-tech equipment, by either selecting or designing it.

 Two Women admitted in the EPIGN - Military Photos
The EPIGN is the French Gendarmerie's Escadron Parachutiste d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale or Parachute Squadron of the Gendarmerie.
After having had to rely on the "lease" of female Gendarmes from territorial units for years, the GOR (Observation and Research Group of the French Gendarmerie's Escadron Parachutiste d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale) has admitted two women in its ranks.
A first selection process held a couple of years ago had left no female survivors; the selection process which led to the incorporation of those two female Gendarmes in the EPIGN has not been released even though it is reported these two women had to follow the same process as their male counterparts.
