The title is misleading
So, I'm sure they have a lot more people who are ready to be deployed if needed.

As the article pointed out, it's likely a political measure meant to assuage the fears of French citizens. Whether these soldiers will actually prevent or even effectively respond to an attack is up for debate. Soldiers are not necessarily trained to be as precise as SWAT teams or SOF, increasingly the likelihood of civilian casualties during a firefight between French soldiers and terrorists.
