The 2e Régiment d'Infanterie Légère, formed on July 14, 2014, is commanded by Major Wellington assisted by Captain Terethor.
Our regiment is focused on event support, so our role is to support the advance or retreat of Allied troops by firing at any enemy trying to catch them. To this end, our regiment will organize one training session per week and our young recruits can be trained daily at their request.
Our history has several chapters, the current 2e Léger is a fully independent regiment led by its own General Staff but was part of three previous Army Corps, the XIe (Dissolved), the Ve (Dissolved) and the IVe.
Our regiment was also associated with two companies; the 2eEC (1stEB after their departure) and the 2eCSB.
After the disappearance of the Ve French Army Corps, the 2e remained independent for about 2 months, discussions were then initiated with the IVe French Army Corps from which resulted 2 months of testing within the Corps, this period of positive testing concluded the official entry into the Corps, so the regiment remained there until its current restructuring.
The former leaders of the 2nd and former members finally decided to reform the regiment, which they made official on July 14, 2017.
Our regiment accepts all those who are tempted by the Light Infantry adventure, but we ask for a certain maturity. Any form of troll is strictly prohibited and is therefore sanctioned.

Les Carabiniers
The carabiniers were to the light infantry what the grenadiers were to the line infantry. And since there was no longer really any real difference between these two types of infantry, the carabiniers, who were no longer armed with the rifle, but with the infantry rifle of the general model (1777) can be defined as elite company soldiers of high size, as the voltigeurs were of the small size. The uniform characteristics of the carabiniers are the same as those of the grenadiers: red shoulder pads, grenades with retroussis, higher shako, decorated with scarlet braids and chevrons, the base of the plate surmounted by grenades, and grenades stamped on the rosettes of the jugular; sabre lighter with a red strap, and grenades on the giberne paddle. The metal ornaments, made of brass in the case of grenadiers, are made of white metal for the carabiniers.
