Following the dissolution of the GIS, the land forces of the Algerian Army decided to create a new elite unit to replace the GIS. However, the 116th RMO has a different status because it does not depend directly on the Algerian intelligence services, as was the case for the former GIS, but it belongs directly to the command of the land forces. They are under the direct orders of the Chief of Staff of the People's National Army, and their missions are followed up to the highest military level (the army's high command).Kaidi Tahar 15 June 2021 Centre d'information territoriale de Blida : journées portes ouvertes https://www.elmoudjahid.com/fr/nation/centre-d-information-territoriale-de-blida-journees-portes-ouvertes-11027 El Moudjahid French https://web.archive.org/web/20210624202147/https://www.elmoudjahid.com/fr/nation/centre-d-information-territoriale-de-blida-journees-portes-ouvertes-11027 24 June 2021 dead Moreover, the 116th RMO is the descendant of the GIS, so this regiment has naturally taken over the same missions as the latter, and is therefore capable of extremely diverse and varied operations.Régions : Blida : Portes-ouvertes sur le 116e régiment des manœuvres opérationnelles https://www.dknews-dz.com/article/137690-blida-portes-ouvertes-sur-le-116e-regiment-des-manoeuvres-operationnelles.html 16 June 2021 2021-08-05 DK News FR The majority of operators and most of the material was transferred to this regiment.
