How does a national army reach out to its people? Some open a Twitter account (@USArmy). Others hand out sweets to children. In Gabon, they bust some moves. 

We love this video of the camouflage-clad Armée Génie Militaire performing a dance routine everywhere from a marketplace to what looks like their military compound.

It's intercut with photographic portraits of presumably key figures in the army, accompanied by their name – maybe to build up their profile in case TV dance contest Think You Can Dance? comes to town.
