Following the | Following the [[Expulsion of the Protestants]] from [[Levantia]] during the [[Great Confessional War]], [[Burgundie]] was flooded with Protestants and a Duke that was hostile to their presence in [[Burgundie]]. As an attempt to deal with their persistent presence and under pressure from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and the Papacy, the Duke of Burgundie, created the Burgundian Foreign Legion as a way to displace them, but bolster his military power. At its conception in [[1577]], the unit consisted of 1,000 Protestant men with 5 [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] officers. They were trained as marines and were assigned to merchant ships conducting business outside of [[Levantia]]. This role persisted until the late 1800s when the needs of the thalosocrassy shifted and molded the legion to fit. | ||

The Tirailleurs Tessouat (Aeng: Tessouat's Rifles) are a Battlegroup in the Osteician Central Command. They are classified as light assault infantry garrisoned a [[Equatorial_Ostiecia#Fort_St._Paul|Fort St. Paul]] in [[Equatorial_Ostiecia#Pescanice|Pescanice]], [[Equitorial Ostiecia]]. Per the [[LUDC]] force structure classified as a {{wp|Division (military)|division}} based on number of troops, but it is a temporary, unsupported unit, therefore the Army has classified it as a ''Battlegroup''. | |||
=== | |||
The unit was formed in [[2026]], as part of the [[Army of Burgundie Combat Capability Realignment of 2026]], after the number of [[Algosh_Republic#Algosh_abroad|Algosh]] applicants exceeded the ability of the [[Army of Burgundie#Training_Command|Training Command]] to adequately train and matriculate the [[Algosh_Republic#Algosh_abroad|Algosh]]. Due to the well-known martial tradition of the [[Algosh Republic|Algosh]], especially during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], the Foreign Legion high command wanted to quickly recruit and retain the diaspora of [[Algosh_Republic#Algosh_abroad|Algosh]], before they could be taken into other countries militaries. Legion high command created a brigade combat team, in [[2026]], which later expanded to a battlegroup, in [[2030]], as a "temporary training, matriculation, and evaluation unit." | |||
The plan is to use the Tirailleurs Tessouat are focused on two core missions for the near term. The first mission is that they are teaching the cadre of Drill Instructors and Training Officers their methodology and combat techniques to see what can be integrated into the [[Burgoignesc way of war]] and training, conducted by the newly created ''Cronan Combat Doctrine Integration School''. The second mission is to act as {{wp|Opposing force|OPFOR}} for unit training for the rest of the Army of Burgundie. | |||

Its organization is unique in that it seconds all of its members to the [[Grand Corps of Civil Engineers of the Nation of Burgundie]] in times of peace, meaning that its 21,590 soldiers are full-time military professionals while respecting the constitutional and societal concept that Burgundie does not have a standing home army. | ||
