On entering the Town Hall Square, a 9th Company tank, "Ebro", fired the first shots against a large group of German artillery and machine guns.

While awaiting the final capitulation, the 9th Company assaulted the Chamber of Deputies, the Hotel Majestic and the Place de la Concorde, suffering just one casualty.

At 3:30pm on August 25, the German garrison of Paris surrendered to 9th Company soldiers, who took von Choltitz as a prisoner, while other 2nd Division units began to arrive at the French capital.

The Régiment de marche du Tchad is often associated with the pledge made by Leclerc, then a colonel, never to cease fighting before French colours were flying over the cathedral of Strasbourg.

The 9th Company distinguished itself in battles in France and Germany and was among the first allied units to reach the Kehlsteinhaus (Hitler's "Eagle's Nest") in the German Alps (1945).

Elements of the Régiment de marche were among International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops ambushed in the Uzbin Valley, Afghanistan in 2008; one of the ten soldiers killed was from the RMT.

[5] Because of the circumstances of its formation, the RMT inherited the honours of the Régiment de Tirailleurs Sénégalais du Tchad; hence, its flag is inscribed with the names of three battles in which its parent took part: Koufra (1941), Fezzan (1942), and Sud-Tunisien (1943).
