The Chief of Staff of the French Army decided on 1 September 1990 to create a new experimental armoured regiment of 80 tanks with two squadron groups (Groupes d’Escadrons, GE). Each group would consist of three combat squadrons and one command and logistics squadron.
The 1er-2e RCh was formed in 1998 by merging the 1st Chasseur Regiment (French: 1e Régiment de chasseurs) and 2nd Chasseur Regiment (French: 2e Régiment de chasseurs) as two squadron groups. The regiment was disbanded with the deactivation of the 2nd Chasseur Regiment. The 1st Chasseur Regiment continues in existence.
The regiment carried out operations in Lebanon, Kosovo, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Ivory Coast, Senegal and New Caledonia.
