the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force. Foreign Legion units have participated in ISAF operations in the Kapisa Province and Surobi District. Personnel and recruitment The Foreign Legion, unlike other units of the French military which are exclusively male (e.g. submariners), does not prohibit the recruitment of women, but only Susan Travers has ever been selected. A variable number of women serve in support and administrative positions, but their uniforms do not have the traditional attributes (white cap, red epaulettes and green and blue belt). The countries of origin of legionnaires have been highly correlated with areas experiencing political unrest. A large number of Germans, for example, joined after World War II, as did Poles before, during and after both world wars. The Legion also admits French-speakers of other nationalities, increasing the figures for Belgium and Switzerland. The official website outlines the Legion's recruitment standards. The age limit ranges from 17 (with parental consent) to 40 years.
