Tunisian Armed forces
21958

Founded in 1956

Service Branches : Army
Air force
Navy
HQ Ministry of National Defense
Commander in Chief : Pres. Moncef Marzouki
Minister of National Defense : Abdelkarim Zbidi
Chief Of staff : General Rachid Ammar
The modern Tunisian Army had its origins in the time of the French Protectorate (1881–1956). During this period, Tunisians were recruited in significant numbers into the French Army, serving as tirailleurs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirailleurs) (infantry) andspahis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spahis) (cavalry). These units saw active service in Europe during both World Wars, as well as in Indo-China prior to 1954. The only exclusively Tunisian military force permitted under French rule was the Beylical Guard.
The Tunisian National Army was established in 1956, at the time of independence. It initially comprised about 1,300 officers and men transferred from French Army service, plus 850 former members of the Beylical Guard. Approximately 4,000 Tunisian soldiers continued in French Army service until 1958, when the majority transferred to the Tunisian Army, which reached a strength of over 6,000 that year. The Tunisian Navy was created in 1959 and the Tunisian Air Force in 1960.
In 1960 Tunisian troops served with the United National Peacekeeping Force in the Congo. In 1961 clashes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizerte_crisis) occurred with French forces based at Bizerte (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizerte). The French evacuated the base after subsequent negotiations with the Tunisian Government.
Tunisia has contributed military forces to United Nations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations) peacekeeping missions, including an army company to UNAMIR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Assistance_Mission_for_Rwanda) during the Rwandan Genocide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide). In his book Shake Hands with the Devil, Canadian force commander Roméo Dallaire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rom%C3%A9o_Dallaire) gave the Tunisian soldiers high credit for their work and effort in the conflict and referred to them as his "ace in the hole".
During the 2011 Libyan civil war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Libyan_civil_war), Tunisian forces, mostly border guards, saw some limited action when fighting between Libyan rebels and loyalist soldiers spilled over the border and clashes ensued between the Libyan Army and the Tunisian Army, resulting in at least one Tunisian civilian being injured by a Libyan rocket.

Not really sure I understand the point/purpose of this thread. Please explain.

ETA -- I am going to merge this with your other "intro post". It has no real place in the "Marine Family" category, and nowhere else that I can determine. So it gets merged.

Tunis, Tunisia (Nov. 17, 2006) - The Marine Corps color guard assigned to the American Embassy in Tunis marches past a corridor of Tunisian honor guards while retiring the colors during a wreath-laying ceremony at the North African American Cemetery in Tunis. The Veterans Day ceremony was postponed by a few days in order to be performed during the port visit of dock landing ship USS Whidbey Island (LSD 41). Whidbey Island's visit marked the first port call of a major U.S. Navy ship in Tunisia since 2001. The North Africa American Cemetery is one of 24 American cemeteries on foreign soil and covers 27 acres of land between the Mediterranean and the Bay of Tunis. Established in 1948, the cemetery holds the graves of 2,841 service members who died while serving during the World War II North Africa campaign.
