- 部分
- 廣泛活動地區
- Nationwide, organised in territorial brigades; in the north and east the brigades are the state's forward presence. Nothing about strength beyond the public order of magnitude, and nothing about dispositions, is authored.
- 重要歷史
- A French-pattern gendarmerie since independence, under the defence ministry and answering to the interior ministry for policing. The war since 2015 turned its territorial brigades from police posts into garrisons: in most of the districts JNIM contests, the gendarmerie brigade is the state unit on the ground, and when the 2020 law created the Volunteers for the Defence of the Homeland it was the local brigade that raised and directed them. That makes the gendarmerie the hinge of the "total war" model — the point where a conventional force and a mass civilian mobilisation meet — and the place where the VDP's documented conduct problems become the state's.
- 優勢
- Presence in districts the army does not hold, a legal command relationship with the auxiliaries, and the road-security role that the import corridors depend on.
- 限制
- Roughly five thousand personnel for a country under siege in half its territory; brigades that are overrun before they are relieved; and a command over the VDP that human-rights reporting describes as nominal in the districts where the auxiliaries' conduct is worst.

In districts without an army garrison the volunteer auxiliaries are raised and directed through the gendarmerie brigade; the arrangement is described in law and reported unevenly in practice.

關鍵事件
Inata憲兵哨所遭攻陷
2021年11月14日上午，槍手襲擊了位於Soum省金礦附近的Inata憲兵分遣隊。政府最初公布的傷亡人數為至少19名憲兵及一名平民，並註明為暫定數字，後升至49名憲兵及四名平民，是自2015年叛亂開始以來安全部隊遭受的最重損失。該分遣隊曾報告在遇襲前約兩週沒有口糧。沒有任何團體宣稱犯案；報導將其歸咎於與JNIM有關聯的戰鬥人員。
Seytenga — 尼日邊界附近平民遭逐戶殺害
2022年6月11日至12日夜間，武裝人員進入位於Séno省、靠近尼日邊界的Seytenga，時間在該鎮憲兵哨所遇襲數日之後，並逐戶殺害成年男子。政府確認的死亡人數於6月14日達79人，其後為86人；Reuters的安全消息來源稱死亡人數至少100人，一名當地消息來源給出的暫定數字為165人。聯合國難民署報告近16,000人逃離，多數前往Dori。報導將此次攻擊歸咎於伊斯蘭國的薩赫勒分支；本紀錄不採用任何宣稱。
