GIGN (Groupe d'intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale, or National Gendarmerie Intervention Group) is an elite tactical police unit from the French National Gendermerie that specialize in counter-terrorism, hostage rescues, protection of government officials, surveillance of national threats, and targeting organized crime.

This unit was founded in 1974 and is still active today. The creation of this pack was inspired by the Air France Flight 8969 Hijack of 1994 in Algeria by 4 members of the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria who had the intention of flying the plane into the Eiffel Tower in Paris. 30 GIGN members conducted a risky raid on the aircraft and managed to kill all 4 terrorists while suffering 9 casualties. 13 passengers were injured and 3 had been killed. The number of passengers that were ultimately rescued is 229.

This pack includes 3 GIGN variants (One with arms, one without, one with sleeves rolled), 2 helmet variants (One with Visor up and one with visor down) and the CZ BREN 2 which is currently being used by them. I hope you enjoy using the pack.
