Guillaume Pinget, left, commander, Armed Forces of French Polynesia, pins the Aito “Warrior” medal onto a French Armed Forces soldier with the 21st Marine Infantry Regiment, Troupes De Marine, French Army, during the Bazeilles Day Ceremony for Exercise DELAYEN, Tahiti, French Polynesia, Sept. 4, 2025. The celebration of the 155th Bazeilles Day commemorates a pivotal moment for the French Armed Forces during the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 where French marines were outnumbered by their enemy ten-to-one during one of the first recorded instances of urban warfare.
