104th Operational Maneuvers Regiment  The 104th Operational Maneuvers Regiment is a special forces regiment from the Algerian land forces. It is also a paratroop regiment like the 116th RMO. The 104th operational maneuvers regiment was created on 2 November 2005 by a presidential decree in order to support the ex-Algerian SIG and to participate with them to the counter-terrorism operations in Algeria.
