During World War II, Operation Newton was a jeep-mounted patrol by 57 French members of the French 3rd Special Air Service (3rd Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes) who operated in the Champagne-Burgundy area from 19 August to 11 September 1944. The team harassed the retreating Germans until relieved by the advancing Americans. This was under the command of Lieutenant Guy de Combaud Roquebrune.
