… In Syria.

"Kurdish-led fighters overran the last village held by the Islamic State group in Syria on Wednesday, confining its once vast cross-border "caliphate" to two small hamlets, a war monitor said.

It is the culmination of a broad offensive launched by the Syrian Democratic Forces last September with US-led coalition support in which they have reduced the jihadists' last enclave on the north bank of the Euphrates valley near the Iraqi border to a tiny rump.

Does anyone knows more information about the "Compagnie d'Agriculteurs" (agricultural company), supposedly created in the year II (l'an II – 1793) of the revolution? I tihnk I once found something about it being part of the Armée de l'Ouest, but I cant find the source.

Are you sure it is a military company and not just a commerial one as this one here (existing in 1789):

see bottom line of the page

Or just some farmers giving accompanying some soldiers (en compagnie de …) ?

It seems to be a company attached to the army:
The link is not working but searching "compagnies d'agriculteurs" 1793 on googlebooks will show two books mentioning its creation. Anyone knows more?

There seems to be an article by a Capitaine Mauguin: "Les compagnies d'agriculteurs en l'an II" in the Carnet de la Sabretache, n° 347, January 1931.

Unfortunately, this year is not available at Gallica:
