Even before the adoption of the Pentomic organization by the U.S. Army, the French Army adopted a very similar organization in 1955, called "Javelot" (Javelin), although with some differences. While in the Pentomic structure, the maneuver units of the divisions were called battle groups, in the "Javelot" model they were called regiments. Also, each "Javelot" type regimental headquarters was able to establish two small subordinate tactical headquarters to control groups of companies which formed a kind of provisional battalions, what was not foreseen in the Pentomic battle groups. These features prevented some of the flaws of the Pentomic structure, including the issues related with span of control, loss of the level of command between company and regiment and loss of regimental cohesion caused by the removal of the traditional regiments from the tactical organization. Because of the lack of the flaws associated with the Pentomic organization and the successfully employment of "Javelot" type units in the Suez Crisis and in the Algerian War, this model of organization was kept and it is still the basis of the French Army organization until today.
