PS: My policy here at Tactical Notebook is to link to both the "most original" and the "most accessible" version of the source. I am also grateful to readers who point out sources that are either more accessible or more original than the ones I used.
Bruce: is there a translated version of the paper?

Alas, I haven't seen a translated version of Goya's paper. In the course of looking for one, I ran into this piece, from a researcher at RAND, who seems to have done a lot of research into present-day French expeditionary forces. https://ndupress.ndu.edu/Portals/68/Documents/jfq/jfq-82/jfq-82_76-85_Shurkin.pdf
