Corps Léger d'Intervention

The Corps Léger d'Intervention (CLI) (French for "light intervention corps") was a Pacific War interarm corps of the Far East French Expeditionary Forces (CEFEO) commanded by Général de corps d'armée Roger Blaizot that used clandestine operations, direct action (short-duration strikes or small-scale offensive actions), frontline military intelligence gathering, irregular warfare, long-range penetration, and special operations against the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) that had occupied French Indochina since 1941. It was created by General Charles de Gaulle in 1943 and modeled after the British Chindits Special Forces who fought in the Burma Campaign.
