Seconded to the Burgoignesc Foreign Legion from the Puhkgundian Emirate in [[1867]] during the [[Emirati War]]. The Zamburaks were formalized into the Legion in [[1915]] as a mountain artillery battalion. During [[Operation Kipling]] the unit was bolstered into the 1st and 2nd Zamburak Camel Artillery Regiments. In [[1986]] the 2nd Regiment was disbanded and its artillerymen and equipment were seconded to the 1st Regiment which became just the Zamburak Camel Artillery Regiment. Due to the nature of the camel-borne transportation, the artillery used by the Zamburaks historically fulfilled the direct fire role and been of lighter caliber. During [[Operation Kipling]] the standard mounted weapon was a M40 recoilless rifle. In the modern era the unit has adopted the MMP, the Mistral, as well as the {{wpl|Mortier 120mm Rayé Tracté Modèle F1|RTF1}} (which gives it an indirect fire capability to the unit). While the camel is still the primary high alpine transportation method as well as the ceremonial transporter for the unit, the primary "lowland" vehicle of the unit is the {{wpl|Polaris_Inc.#DAGOR|DAGOR}}. | Seconded to the Burgoignesc Foreign Legion from the Puhkgundian Emirate in [[1867]] during the [[Emirati War]].
