**********************************************************
This was a great workout and perfect that I could use the first run as my warm-up. The middle part took me 20:03. I did strict pull-ups because there weren't very many and I am now going to avoid kipping again for a while. Grateful to do this workout.

Background: This workout is dedicated to the Antenne du GIGN or the National Gendarmerie Intervention Group who is the elite police tactical unit of the French National Gendarmerie. Its missions include counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, surveillance of national threats, protection of government officials, and targeting organized crime.
GIGN was established in 1973 following the Munich massacre, created initially as a relatively small tactical unit specialized in sensitive hostage situations.
It has since grown into a larger force with expanded responsibilities and capabilities. GIGN is now composed of nearly a thousand operators, based at the Versailles-Satory headquarters, near Paris (approximately 400 operators), and in fourteen regional GIGN Branches located in metropolitan France or in its overseas territories (approximately 600 operators). GIGN shares jurisdiction of French territory with the National Police special-response units.
We first found the workout posted by Cross Ops @crossops as one of the tested and recommended WODs by their elite units.
