Oružane snage Obala Bjelokosti (Armées de Cote d'Ivoire; "FACI") vuku
korijene iz kolonijalnih oružanih snaga francuske zapadne Afrike, koje
su imale sjedište u Dakaru u Senegalu, ali su imale baze u nekoliko
zasebnih vojnih regija. Oružane snage se sastoje od Kopnene vojske,
Avijacije, Mornarice, Nacionalne žandarmerije i Republikanske garde. |

The Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire (Forces Armées de Cote
d'Ivoire; "FACI") has its roots in the colonial armed forces of
French West Africa, which were headquartered in Dakar, Senegal but
possessed bases in several distinct military regions. Armed Forces of
Ivory Coast consist from Army, Air Force, Navy, National Gendarmerie and
Ivorian Republican Guard. |

NATIONAL GENDARMERIE
NACIONALNA ŽANDARMERIJA |
|
Od
neovisnosti, Obala Bjelokosti održava paravojne žandarmerijske snage s
mandatom pomaganja policiji u izvršavanju zakona u ruralnim okruzima
zemlje. Međutim, može se rasporediti zajedno s vojskom radi ugušivanja
unutarnjih nemira. Niz desetljeća broj pripadnika nacionalne
žandarmerije ostajao je na oko 4000 do 5000 žandara, pod komandom
pukovnika. Proživjela je masovnu ekspanziju nakon izbijanja Prvog
ivorijskog građanskog rata, povećavši se na oko 12 000 pripadnika kojima
je zapovijedao general-major. Žandari prolaze obuku kadeta na
Nacionalnoj žandarmerijskoj akademiji. Nacionalna žandarmerija ima i
istražni odjel (Brigades de Recherches), koja je optuživana za razna
kršenja ljudskih prava, uključujući vansudska ubojstva i nezakonito
pritvaranje. |

Since independence, the Ivory Coast has maintained a paramilitary
gendarmerie force with a mandate to assist the police with law
enforcement duties in the country's rural districts. However, it may
also be deployed alongside the army to quell internal unrest. For a
number of decades, the size of the Ivorian National Gendarmerie remained
consistent at around 4,000 to 5,000 personnel, supervised by a
commandant. It underwent a massive expansion following the outbreak of
the First Ivorian Civil War, increasing to about 12,000 personnel
commanded by a major general. Gendarmes undergo training as cadets at a
National Gendarmerie Academy. The National Gendarmerie maintains an
investigative branch, the Brigades de Recherches, which has been accused
of various human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killings and
unlawful detention. |

ARMY
KOPNENA VOJSKA |
|
Kopnena vojska je imala tri pješadijska bataljona, oklopni bataljon,
artiljerijsku bateriju i sedam specijaliziranih četa 1993. Djelotvorna
snaga vojske bila je oko 3.000 vojnika u prvih deset godina neovisnosti
Bjelokosti, povećavajući se na preko 8000 sredinom 1980-ih prije nego
što je stalno padala na oko 5500. Oduvijek je to bila najveća grana
oružanih snaga. |
The Ivorian army had three infantry battalions, an armoured battalion,
an artillery battery, and seven specialist companies in 1993. The
effective strength of the army was about 3,000 troops for the first ten
years of Ivorian independence, increasing to over 8,000 in the mid-1980s
before declining steadily to about 5,500. It has always remained the
largest branch of the armed forces. |

AIR FORCE
AVIJACIJA |
|
Zrakoplovstvo 1979. imalo je samo zrakoplove za prijevoz i vezu. 1987.
službeno ime zrakoplovstva, Ivoirian Air Transport and Liaison Group
(Groupement Aérien de Transport et de Liaison - GATL), 'odražava izvornu
misiju koja je više usmjerena na logistiku i transport, a ne na borbene
snage.' 2004. godine, nakon zračnog napada na francuske mirovne snage
francuska vojska uništila je sve zrakoplove u zrakoplovstvu Obale
Bjelokosti (two Sukhoi SU25, three Mi 24 plus two helicopters more). Od
tada je zrakoplovstvo Obale Bjelokosti obnovljeno. |
The 1979 air force had only transport and liaison aircraft. In 1987 the
Air Force's official name, Ivoirian Air Transport and Liaison Group
(Groupement Aérien de Transport et de Liaison—GATL), 'reflects an
original mission focused more on logistics and transport rather than a
combat force.' In 2004, following an air strike on French peacekeepers
by Ivorian forces, the French military destroyed all aircraft in the Air
Force of Ivory Coast. Since then, the Air Force of Ivory Coast has been
rebuilt. |

NAVY
MORNARICA |
|
Obala
Bjelokosti ima mornaricu za „smeđe vode“ čija je misija nadzor nad
obalnim područjem i sigurnost državne obale od 340 kilometara.
Operativna sposobnost mornarice ozbiljno je degradirana zbog
preusmjeravanja resursa na vojsku i zrakoplovstvo tijekom građanskih
ratova, a i dalje je nesposobna izvoditi operacije izvan blizine
Abidjana. U 2018. javljeno je da mornarica kupuje više plovila iz
Francuske (30 čamaca na napuhavanje i 10 patrolnih čamaca), ali za
upotrebu od strane policije i žandarmerije. |
Ivory Coast has a brown-water navy whose mission is coastal surveillance
and security for the nation's 340-mile coastline. The operational
capability of the navy was severely degraded due to the diversion of
resources to the army and air force during the civil wars, and it
remains incapable of conducting operations beyond the general vicinity
of Abidjan. In 2018 it was reported the navy was purchasing more vessels
from France (30 inflatable boats and 10 patrol craft), but for use by
police and gendarmerie. |

oružanim snagama. Na čelu s generalom zbora, sastoji se od generalštaba
i 2 grupacije (jedna u Abidjanu i jedna u Yamoussoukrou), koja se
sastoji od 2500 ljudi. |

d'Ivoire) is an independent military formation in the Ivory Coast
