The foreign legion is only a component of the french army and would definitely have survived.

Currently, it is down to 7700 men but before 1962 it counted no less than 40000 men. I expect that the Legion might expend again in T2K. I wouldn't be surprised to see a number of disbanded units being recreated.
Here is the list of disbanded units:
- 1 REP (Régiment Etranger Parachutiste): 1961.
- 3 REP: 1955.
- 6 REG (Régiment Etranger du Génie): 1999 but replaced by the 1 REG
- 6 REI: 1941.
- RMLE (Régiment de Marche de la Légion Etrangère): became the 3 REI.
- 11 REI: 1940.
- 12 REI: 1940.
- 21, 22 and 23 RMVE (Régiment de Marche de Volontaires Etrangers): 1940.
- 2 REC (Régiment Etranger de Cavalerie): 1962.
- 5 RE (Régiment Etranger): 2000.
- Mounted companies (part of the REI and RE) up to 1950 for the 4 RE.
- 1, 2, 3 and 4 CSPL (Méharistes on camels): 1963.

Currently, I think that it would be easier to recreate a number of units instead of expending the manpower in existing ones.

This, in my opinion could be facilitated by the legion's recruitement rules. Several former professionnal soldiers of other nationalities could be tempted. A previous exemple was that of the post WW2 period when the foreign legion incorporated a fairly large number of Germans from the Wermacht and Waffen-SS.
