The "Pelotons de Sécurité et d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie" SABRE (PSIG SABRE) are part of the French Gendarmerie Nationale
Following the attacks of 2015 and particularly that of November 13, 2015, with terrorist attacks type "Mass Killing", the government decided to create 150 PSIG SABRE, distributed throughout the territory, and which have equipment and weapons to cope with this type of extreme situations.
Indeed, the terrorist risk is real on the French territory:

They are part of the French Ministry of the Interior's rapid intervention forces to intervene on any point of the territory
For the civilians who are in the place of the attack,
here is how to react on this link:
The first 50 SABRE PSIGs were put in place as of August 1, 2016. In addition to performing the traditional missions of a PSIG, they are now the first level of intervention for planned killings, among others.
Since 2018, the 150 PSIG SABRE cover the entire French territory.
They are equipped with HK G36 assault rifles, ballistic protection, heavy helmets, as well as fast geolocated vehicles to dispatch the closest team to an attack.
The PSIG Sabre are equipped, among others, with VW SHARANs allowing them to carry their equipment. GENDARMERIE magnetic strips are affixed to the bodywork for patrols and interventions, but can be removed for greater discretion.
Regularly training to all types of simulations, the PSIG SABRE respond quickly on the whole department.
Composed of 20 to 30 soldiers, they are permanently on patrol. These units can intervene in less than 20 minutes on the whole territory.

Previously, they participated in the 3 intervention pillars of the National Gendarmerie created in late 2015:
The elementary intervention: It concerned the gendarmes of the territorial brigades, first interveners on the places of attacks which will freeze the situation.
The intermediate intervention: It concerned the PSIG SABRE
which intervened to neutralize the attackers and to stabilize the
situation by pushing back possible attacks and preventing terrorists,
hostage-takers or criminals to escape.
The specialized intervention: It involved the GIGN and the AGIGN. They proceeded to the final assault.

Since 2017, the terms of these interventions are simpler and are now classified in 2 stages: the "Primo arrivals", then the "Reinforcements", easier to manage in the perception of interventions.

For the big cities of France, they can also intervene to help the BAC (Brigades Anti Criminalité) of the French National Police who can also be equipped with HK G36 machine guns, heavy bulletproof vests, helmets with bulletproof visors and fast cars.

Knowing that a mass terrorist attack lasts between 30 and 80 minutes, the need for rapid intervention and appropriate armed response, i.e. weapons of war against weapons of war by trained and qualified personnel, will allow for rapid intervention.

Note that among the CRS units there is the "SPI4G CRS". These are police officers also equipped with assault weapons who intervene in a sports, festive or other event, in case a terrorist takes advantage of the mass of people to shoot or drive a vehicle into the crowd.
