what is a Gendarmerie unit?
It's like crpf etc , constabulary like actually.
In india , we have central para military Forces but that was not the case in colonial era when Brit relied on theSe constabulary units of provincial police force like uttar pradesh pradeshik constabulary or rajasthan constabulary .
Genrally it's called state armed police nowadays .
Gendamrie is a French term conveying a similar meaning.

Every 10-15 years US Army starts a project for developing a future rifle intending to replace M-4. This started in the 80s itself when the M-4 was getting reliable sorting the initial issues. This circus continues for last 40 years and M-4 is still there. Begining from the 90s, Ar-15 rifles/parts are so much produced for the US civilian market, that it has reached unbeleivable levels of modularity. In addition, many foreign nations have adopted similar patterened rifles (in small/large numbers).

Moral of the story: Don't see too much in the NGSW programme unless some weapon is actually inducted. It may very well be dropped as many of its predecessors.

How and why?
All of NGSW contenders have 13 inch barrel.shorter than the 14.5 inch m4.but even for the short barrel bullet velocity is not affected.shorter barrel length is for may be the suppresor.NGSW is a system with optic suppresor gun all in one pack.so every US infantry will be able shoot targets upto 800 yards.all would be suppresed .quantum leap indeed

Seems like 6.8x43 has better muzzle velocity than 5.56x45 then? If so then shoving off MCIWS was a big mistake.
