The 116th Operational Maneuvers Regiment (116th RMO) (Arabic: الفوج 116 للمناورات العملياتية, French: 116e Régiment de Manœuvres Opérationnelles) is a special forces regiment of the Algerian Land Forces.

[4] Moreover, the 116th RMO is the descendant of the GIS, so this regiment has naturally taken over the same missions as the latter, and is therefore capable of extremely diverse and varied operations.

The 116th RMO specializes in counterterrorism, counter guerrilla actions, and the hunting of terrorists in hostile and complex areas, as well as in hostage rescue.

The 116th RMO therefore has several specialized companies:[1][5] Operators have access to several types of weapons that are chosen according to the needs and nature of the mission.

Each operator is equipped with a primary weapon (usually an assault rifle), a handgun, and in addition to this, various types of grenades (fragmentation, smoke, blinding, etc.).
