These Pumas belong to the EOS1 (1°Escadrille des Opérations Spéciales), the French Army-led flight of the GIH (Groupe Interarmées d'Hélicoptères), a joint Army-Air Force unit set up the year before (2006). This unit provides a helicopter support to the GSIGN, the French Gendarmerie elite counter-terrorism squad.
