Tabor (Morocco)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tabor was the designation given to an irregular unit of indigenous infantry and cavalry recruited in Morocco during the period of French and Spanish intervention and occupation (1908–56).
A tabor was a formation of three or four goums. A goum in this case was the Moroccan equivalent to a company, and a tabor would thereby be equivalent to a battalion. Larger groups of tabors, equivalent to regiments or brigades, were also employed.
