It should be noted that, depending mostly on location, the gendarmerie carry out at times regular policing functions, while at other times they perform a more traditional military role of protecting the sovereign and territorial integrity of Chad.
应当指出，多数情况下取决于所在地点，宪兵有时承担正常的维持治安职能，有时则承担保护乍得主权和领土完整的传统军事角色。
