The most recent unit, formed in 1985, makes 600 arrests a year.

Few units made it closer than 300 yards before having to dig in for some cover.

Last year, the unit sold a record 559 planes worth $36 billion, but made a $63 million profit.

The unit, though, makes no attempt to advance any particular political or policy agenda, he said.

Over the next 12 days, the unit made its way first west, and then southwest across France.

After the war some units for a few years still made use of the type.

In its first 25 days the unit made 1,000 arrests.

The unit made the decision official after meeting here for the annual summer review of conference business.

Having both units would make the station "more robust," he said.

"A few units out there would make an enormous difference," she said.
