A member of the French Marine Infantry Regiment in French Polynesia, French Armed Forces stands at parade rest during the Bazeilles Day Ceremony in Arue, Tahiti, French Polynesia, Aug. 31, 2023. The Bazeilles Day Ceremony commemorates a pivotal moment for the French Armed Forces during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, where French Marines were outnumbered by their enemy 10-to-1 during one of the first recorded occurrences of urban warfare. Pacific Marines’ presence at the ceremony demonstrates the collective effort in strengthening relationships and building upon mutual respect among Allies in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
