The 6th-12th Cuirassier Regiment (French: 6e-12e Régiment de Cuirassiers,6e-12e RC) was an armoured cavalry (tank) regiment of the French Army.
[1] The Chief of Staff of the French Army decided on 1 September 1990 to create a new experimental armoured regiment of 80 tanks with two squadron groups (Groupes d’Escadrons, GE).
It retained this unified structure after the 2nd Armoured Division downsized to a brigade-level command.
It participated in overseas operations in Kosovo, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Chad, and Lebanon.
[2][1] On 1 August 2009 the unified regiment was disbanded with the deactivation of the 6th Cuirassiers.
