11e régiment parachutiste de choc

The motto is Qui ose gagne ("who dares wins"), in continuation of the tradition of the British Special Air Service.

[2] In July 1947, as the complement of the 11e choc grew, Morlane nominated Paul Aussaresses to replace Mautaint.

Aussaresses described his mission as "perform what was by then called 'psychological warfare', wherever it was necessary, notably in Indochina (...) I trained my men for clandestine operations, airborne or otherwise, that could range from building demolition to sabotage or elimination of enemies".

Morlane "was convinced that a Soviet invasion was imminent, and had been busy constituting secret weapon caches all over the territory so that, when time would come, a resistance could be organised".

Its insignia featured a dagger with a map of France as background, and its motto was En pointe toujours ("at the tip, always").

The restructuring of the French Intelligence and Special Operations organs following the Gulf War entailed the disbanding of the 11e RPC on 31 December 1993.
