Quatre Français, deux marsouins des troupes de marine du 9RIMa, et deux légionnaires du 3REI ont suivi un stage commando très dur. Il se déroulait en Colombie et durait 73 jours. Objectif : tenir coûte que coûte pour devenir "Lancero". Leur mission : combattre les guérillas marxistes en guerre contre le gouvernement depuis 40 ans, qui financent leur combat avec le trafic de cocaïne et les enlèvements, comme celui de la franco-colombienne Ingrid Bétancourt. Pour réussir le stage, les soldats doivent risquer leur vie avec une épreuve de confiance "interdite dans l'armée française" et résister à une très forte pression psychologique. Pour la première fois, une caméra a pu pénétrer en Amazonie dans le camp secret où les stagiaires sont prisonniers. C'est un capitaine des Forces Spéciales Américaines, qui supervise les interrogatoires avec des techniques qui ressemblent à celles pratiquées dans le centre de détention de Guantanamo et dans les prisons secrètes de la CIA.

In English :

Training takes place at the Colombian Army's

The training, conducted in part in Tolemaida, and in part in Amazonia, includes an exercise, supervised by an American officer, simulating a hostage-taking of trainees (mostly soldiers in the Colombian army and from other South American countries, but including American and French military as well). - Taken to a mock-up of a FARC camp, the trainees are beaten, tortured, and interrogated. - A Capt. Gonzalez of the 7th Special Forces Group supervises the hellish training, and tells journalist Patrick F. that the U.S. runs similar extreme training courses, albeit secretly.

Four French soldiers have just participated in this training: two marsouins [marine infantry], Capt. Christophe Degand and Staff Sergeant Freddy Phalampin of the 9th marine infantry regiment. With them, two Legionnaires from the 3rd foreign infantry regiment: Staff Sergeant Jacques Riesen and Sergeant Jeannus Richter, a big Polish fellow who complains like a Frenchman. The objective: to acquire the Colombian commandos' best techniques and know-how so as then to teach them to French soldiers. The method: to push psychic resistance to extreme limits.

Only two northern hemisphere countries participate in it: the United States and France, sending troops there who are already experienced. The head command in French Guyana sends to Colombia its best soldiers, already skilled in jungle fighting. These are men who are super-trained physically, but who are also highly motivated, since the pressure put on them for two and a half months is enormous, as close as can be to real combat conditions.
