French term
escadron porté
French to English
Other
Military / Defense
Context: a report about military and defence in Burkina Faso
Sentence: "Les unités spéciales de la gendarmerie, essentiellement l’USIGN et l’escadron porté de la gendarmerie, sont à l’avant-garde de la réponse antiterroriste depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir du président Kaboré."
I have found this definition online: Un escadron porté utilise des camions et autres véhicules tous chemins pour ses missions militaires mais ne dispose pas de véhicules blindés.
I'm not sure what this would be in English, 'mounted squadron' comes to mind, but then isn't that just cavalry?
Thanks for your help!
