La Gendarmerie Nationale is the name used in many French-speaking countries for their national paramilitary police forces. An individual policeman-soldier serving in such forces is commonly called a gendarme. Beginning as special mounted cavalry units in the eighteenth century, Gendarmerie units have evolved into forces embracing the entire spectrum of national military, police, and public safety duties.
