Abstract
The auxiliary force of the French Army in Morocco (1912-1934) longside the Moroccan regular units, the French army in Morocco counted in its strength some important contingents of auxiliaries or supplementary forces. The flexibility of their recruitment and the diversity of the roles in which they were employed made them highly valued by French commanders. They formed shock units, such as the famous goums, as well as police forces at the service of the officers of the Bureau of Indigenous Affairs. Others, less well-known, operated under the direction of Moroccan leaders. This article attempts to lift the veil on these formations.
