6th Foreign Engineer Regiment

The 6th Foreign Engineer Regiment (French: 6e régiment étranger de génie) was a unit of the Foreign Legion in the French Army, part of the rapid reaction force and component of the 6th Light Armoured Division, (6e DLB).

The insignia symbolizes the 6th Foreign Infantry Regiment in the form of a hexagon, the three Roman columns of the temple of Jupiter at Baalbek to the left of the insignia and the symbols of the French Foreign Legion: red and green colors with a grenade with seven flames in its center.

The specialty of the regiment is symbolized by the "pot en tête" (metal military helmet) and armor used by sergeants at arms in the 13th century and later worn by pionniers sapeurs.

Syrie, Liban et Tunisie Partout les combats sans pitié Par le sang versé Rendirent gloire.

Refrain Sapeurs, mineurs et bâtisseurs À l’assaut légionnaire du Six Et de la force des vainqueurs Portons très haut notre devise Parfois détruire.
