Finally, on 4 May 1961, the historic designation of "Troupes de marine" was readopted, this time for all the "Troupes Coloniales". They became a major component in France's Forces d'Intervention. In July 1963 the 9th Marine Infantry Brigade (9e Brigade d'Infanterie de Marine) (9e BIMa) of the ' was formed a French Force d'Intervention. It was named after and carried the insignia of the 9th Colonial Infantry Division (9e DIC) that had performed a successful amphibious assault on Elba in World War II. The ' remaining overseas became part of the Forces d'outre mer. In 1964 the Force d'Intervention was expanded by adding two airborne brigades and one motorized brigade and formed into the 11th ', which became the 11th Parachute Division in 1971. The ' were removed from this division in 1976 to form a separate intervention force, and the ' was expanded on 1 January 1976 to form the ' (9e DIMa). This division was the amphibious component of the Force d'Intervention, which was renamed the Force d'Action Rapide (FAR) in 1983.
