Gun-user reporting in.
I have no clue how the military works.
My question, possibly a bit too specific, is the following one:
>how many operative infantrymen are there in one single armed force?
Possibly, we might want to narrow down the question:
>I am not talking of deployed troops in general (which includes petty officers, chefs, etc.)
>I am talking of people who are meant to see the action (e.g. patrol, search and destroy, etc.)
>This doesn't mean *all of them* have seen actual actions. But they must be ready
>Although my focus is on infantry, I believe different countries have different rules or armed forces (e.g. Carabinieri, Marines, etc.)
My tentative answer:
>5-10% of all soldiers are OP
Would that be accurate?
I would love to get answers from all over the world.

What I believe is a Maori man enlisted in the French Foreign Legion.

Kind of unrelated but if you're a Maori man are you required by law to get siqq tats?

I don't know, mate. I've been in NZ four times and it seems widespread among the Maori populace. 80% of them are more awesome than cool anyway, so I don't really have a problem with that.

Yeah, but nobody is answering my question.
P.S.: am I wrong? Is he from New Caledonia or Hawaii?
>>32848651

less modern militaries probably 80+

He is a French Marine not FFL, I thought the anchor gave the game away.
>>32848651
USMC is approximately 1-6, to 1-7. Approximately 30,000 out of ~180,000. However, keep in mind USMC is more Infantry oriented than the US Army.
That's the only one I know because I was an 0311.

Lol. I have literally searched "FFL" and that was one of the first results.

I think the French Army is actually pretty based and what they did in Mali was awesome.
However, I wanted to give my OP some international flavour.
