The 61st Engineer Legion Mixed Battalion (61e BMGL) was a combined unit of the French Army, composed of regular Army sappers and legionnaires. Created in early 1971, the battalion was tasked with constructing Camp Canjuers, the largest military training area in Western Europe at the time. After subsequently working at the Larzac, La Courtine, Caylus and Garrigues camps, the 61e BMGL was eventually deactivated in 1982.
