Argana Security Agencies for Western Sahara
This mod adds a new independant faction to Arma 3 and Westerna Sahara CDLC (Indep side). Includes Argana Gendarmes and PRIGA operators, and Borderguards service (Garde-Frontière) including Regular borderguards, Border Patrol Agents and Meharistes special units and Long range desert patrol.
The Bureau-19 is the intelligence service of the Argana, tasked with collecting and repressing political opponents.
They have different missions and units reponsible for preventing political unrest, tackling terrorism and violent organized crime. They operate in their typical black uniform or in plainclothes to conduct investigations.
The Garde-Frontiere is a paramilitary border security and anti-smuggling force, and first line of defense in case of foreign agression, under the Argana Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The regular Borderguards are the main meele units of the organization, tasked with maintaining the integrity of the border and maintain readiness for armed confrontation until the arrival of the main units of the Argana Armed forces.
The Border Patrol service is mainly monitoring inhabited area and urban settings, and used to prevent clash between different populations of the country, anti-smuggling and mitigate unrest in the Arganan provinces. They are highly mobile.
The Meharistes regiment inherits from the tradition of the camel riders of the Sahara before and after the French rule. They are taked to conduct the special operations (anti-terrorism, counter-insurgency…) to support the other branches of the Borderguards. They are also specialized in conducting Long Range Desert Patrol and raids.
The Gendarmerie of Argana is the main organization of the country responsible for public security, law and order enforcement and military police duties.
Created when Argana was under the French colonizer rule, the Gendarmerie also integrates traditions from the Desert Dwellers inhabiting the Argana territory ("Bedouins"), making it a very mobile and agile organization able to reach the different provinces of the country. Local squadrons based in Sefrou-Ramal province were recently reinforce to fight the Tura uprising and quell the unrest.
The Peloton de Recherche et d’Intervention de la Gendarmerie Arganaise (PRIGA) is the swat-like group of the Gendarmerie, and conduct COIN, counter-terrorism and special type of operations.

– The screenshots use equipment for other DLCs (e.g. Law of War, Art of War etc…). Those are not used in the mod to limit dependencies, but I encourage you to mix’n’match for better look!
– To be used at your own risks! I don’ take responsibility in case of unexpected damage to your system
– I don’t play MP, so if you encounter bug, please report and I’ll try to fix it
– Compatibility with ZEUS: Normally yes, but not tested in MP
– No other dependencies than Western Sahara
This is not supposed to be ultra-realistic and honestly there could be some discrepancies, but it is my take on expanding on the Armaverse. It is limited by my skills and the time I can spend on it, so you could probably find higher quality mods or models – still, I don’t think this is redundant with existing materials. I tried however to make as neat and smooth as possible, this is the least of courtesy to the potential users. If there are any bugs to report – please let me know, and I’ll try to fix it (it will be an opportunity for me to learn something new).
– Helmets with visor may have some visual artifact is dues to an engine limitation with transparency
– The code of the config could probably be optimized – I have not seen any bugs, missing relationship popping up on my system, but it is always, so please let me now
– Some uniforms are under development (new for Gendarmerie) they are available for testing purpose
– Possible futur plans: other agencies (?)
