The French Defense Attaché Office has drafted it in accordance with open publications. The French Armed Forces are heavily deployed both at home and overseas. On the security front, the terrorist threat is still assessed as high in France and operation “Sentinelle” (Guardian) is still going on. Overseas, the combat units are extremely active against a determined enemy and the French soldiers are constantly adapting their courses of action and their layout plans to the threat. Impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, the French Armed Forces have resumed their day-to-day activities and operations under the sign of transformation and modernization.

Military Rank Equivalency
Military rank equivalency Although GS civilians do not have military rank by virtue of their GS position, regulations include civilian and military grade equivalencies for pay and protocol comparison purposes. Military rank or civilian grade often have no bearing on supervisory precedence—generally, precedence and authority are guided by situational expertise. For example, a GS-9 is considered comparable to a first lieutenant or lieutenant (junior grade) (O-2), while a GS-15 (top of the General Schedule) is the equivalent grade of a colonel or captain (O-6). Senior Executive Service (SES) and Senior Level grades correspond for protocol purposes to flag and general officers (admirals and generals). Grade equivalencies were created by the U.S. Department of Defense for the purpose of treating civilians serving alongside the Armed Forces who have been captured as prisoners of war according to the Geneva Convention.[6] Geneva Convention Category GS MILITARY Senior Executive V: General Officer O-7 through O-10 Service GS-15 O-6 IV: Field Grade Officer GS-14/GS-13 O-5 GS-12 O-4 O-3 GS-11/GS-10 O-2 and W-4/W- III: Company Grade Officer GS-9/GS-8 3 GS-7 O-1 and W-2/W- 1 II: Non-commissioned Officer/Staff Non-Comissioned GS-6 E-7 through E-9 Officer GS-5 E-6/E-5 GS-4 E-4 I: Enlisted GS-1 through GS-3 E-1 through E-3 Grade equivalencies have also been issued by the U.S. Department of State for other purposes, such as assignment of permanent and transient housing to eligible civilian employees.

Deep Cooperation by Belgian Defence : Absorbing the Impact of Declining Defence Budgets on National Capabilities
This item is the archived peer-reviewed author-version of: Deep cooperation by Belgian defence : absorbing the impact of declining defence budgets on national capabilities Reference: Sauer Tom.- Deep cooperation by Belgian defence : absorbing the impact of declining defence budgets on national capabilities Defence Studies - ISSN 1470-2436 - 15:1(2015), p. 46-62 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.1080/14702436.2015.1005900 Institutional repository IRUA Deep cooperation by Belgian defence: absorbing the impact of declining defense budgets on national capabilities Pieter-Jan Parrein and Tom Sauer1 Since the end of the Cold War, Belgian Defence has been used by the Belgian government as an important tool for foreign policy. The accompanying strategic plan 2000-2015, however, that was aimed to adapt the capabilities of the armed forces to the new reality has never been seen as an essential guidance by the Belgian decision-makers. Instead, the Belgian armed forces have been adapted due to budget cuts, and only in a minor way because of strategic considerations. This has resulted in an imbalance between the budget for personnel, operating costs and investments. The result is a smaller but still broad force adapted to collective security/crisis management with land forces specialized in (medium and) light infantry tasks. The air and naval capabilities have been made suitable to the lower intensity of collective security operations although they were designed for the higher part of the violence spectrum. Interestingly, the small Belgian navy has been able to maintain its two major capabilities - maritime mine counter measures vessels, and surface combatants -.

The Propensity of Ethnic-Cultural Minorities to Join the Belgian Armed Forces
The Propensity of Ethnic-Cultural Minorities to Join the Belgian Armed Forces Valérian Lecoq & Philippe Manigart As elsewhere in European post-industrial societies, ongoing demographic change is slowly but steadily forcing the Belgian armed forces to consider a more multicultural format (Apt, 2005). Even when taking into account the continuing drastic downsizing of Belgian Defence,1 it may still face serious recruitment problems in the future. One possible solution will be to open its doors more widely to new segments of the population, such as women and ethnic cultural minorities (ECMs), whose share in the military’s personnel strength as of today is still quite modest. Women and ECMs are indeed seriously under- represented : in 2015, women accounted for 7.6% of total force levels while ECMs hardly exceeded 6%, a much lower percentage than among the Belgian population as a whole. Belgium is now a multicultural society. As a result of successive immigration waves, first from Southern Europe (mainly Italy in the 20th century) and later from North- African or Sub-Saharan countries (from the mid-1960s onwards), it presently counts a high percentage of foreign-born citizens and foreigners, mainly located in Brussels (Martiniello & Perrin, 2009, p.224).2 For instance, while in 1880 only 2.6% of the population was born 3 outside Belgium, in 2008, the percentage had climbed to 12.9%. According to OECD and UN data,4 in 2006, a little less than one in five (19.8 %, or 2.05 million) inhabitants were either foreign residents5 or foreign-born Belgians.6 Among the latter, 611,000 (or 5.3% of the total citizenry) originated from European countries (with Italy, France and the Netherlands occupying the top three positions), while 575,000 (5.1%) were non-Europeans (mainly from Morocco and Turkey, two largely Muslim countries).

Policing Peace Operations: Filling the Security Gap Between Military and Police
Policing Peace Operations: Filling the security gap between military and police By Gultekin Topaktas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Global Affairs written under the direction of Dr. Norman Samuels: Professor and Provost Emeritus and approved by Dr. James O. Finckenauer Dr. Gregg G. Van Ryzin Dr. Keith Cozine Newark, New Jersey May 2016 Copyright © 2016 Gultekin Topaktas ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Policing Peace Operations: Filling the security gap between military and police By GULTEKIN TOPAKTAS Dissertation Director: Dr. Norman Samuels: Professor and Provost Emeritus This dissertation explores the roles of gendarmerie, police and military forces in peace operations. The primary purpose of this study is to help strengthening criminal justice system of peace operations and understanding the potential role of law enforcement organizations with military status (gendarmeries) in peace operations. Existing literature indicates that military and police capabilities of gendarmerie- carabinierie type law enforcement organizations offer a unique skill for peace operations. These types of organizations perform a range of police functions such as traffic control, criminal investigations, and general policing activities in their home countries. Such forces can be deployed under the command of the military or can be deployed in police chain of command. In conflicts and peace operations, local law enforcement forces may be unable to maintain public order and security. Generally, until arrival of police units, first intervention units to deal with a security issue are international military forces.
