Following the Druze revolt of 1925-1927, the Syrian Legion was reorganized into the "Special Troops of the Levant" (French: Troupes Speciales du Levant) augmented by North African infantry (tirailleurs) and cavalry (spahis), French Foreign Legion (French: Légion étrangère), and Colonial Infantry/Artillery units (both French and Senegalese). The whole force constituted the Army of the Levant and was responsible for keeping order in both French mandates during the interwar period.
