In the first episode we meet of the legionnaires of the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment in Nimes. We get a closer look at them training, in the regiment parading and what life is like in the barracks. We meet legionnaires and hear their view on being in the Legion and also hear about their backgrounds. Through narration and footage (including archive) of the Legion in action, find out what the Legion and legionnaires do and what type of people they are. We see the legionnaires in France, in Ivory Coast on a peacekeeping mission and in Djibouti where the Legion has its toughest combat training centre.
