The , the military force of Vichy France, is an enemy faction that appears exclusively in Call of Duty 2: Big Red One during the mission "Baptism By Fire".
===In-game===
In Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, the player in the 1st Infantry Division is tasked to clear out a Vichy French base in Algeria in the mission Baptism By Fire. The player also flies over Vichy French Algeria in the level "Liberators" and presumably bombs Vichy French ground targets while getting shot at by Vichy French Flak guns. 
The Vichy French soldiers wear french Saharan desert uniforms with Adrian helmets or no helmet and some of them are legionnaires since they wear the famous "képi blanc" (white kepi).
They use almost exclusively french weaponry, these being the MAS 36 rifle, the MAS 38 submachine gun, the MAS 1935 pistol and the Chatellerault light machine gun, however, a few scoped Kar98k sniper rifles can be found in one of their armories, and they also use MG42s mounted in machine gun nests or on vehicles. They use many German vehicles, such as the Flakvierling, Sd.Kfz. 251, Opel Blitz trucks, Kübelwagens and Stukas.
