A gendarmerie or gendarmery is a military force with law enforcement duties among the civilian population. The term maréchaussée () may also be used (''e.g.'', Royal Marechaussee) but is now uncommon. Although pioneered in France, the concept of a gendarmerie was adopted by several other European nations during the Napoleonic Wars. It remains an integral part of the military establishment in most Francophone states and territories. A somewhat related phenomenon has been the formation of paramilitary units which fall under the authority of civilian police agencies.
