Mouvements unis de la Résistance (French pronunciation:[muvmɑ̃(z‿)ynidəlaʁezistɑ̃s],lit. 'Unified Resistance Movements'[1]) was aFrench Resistance organisation, resulting from the consolidation of three major Resistance movements ("Combat", "Franc-Tireur" and "Libération-Sud") in January 1943 and also the merger of the military arms of these movements within theArmée secrète (Secret Army). Its committee was headed byJean Moulin. These three then merged with five other major movements to form theConseil National de la Résistance.
