His description of the training he received is like so many other military memoirs, though unique for two reasons: it takes place in an incomprehensible language in the company of polyglot inductees, and it is exceedingly brutal.

  • The Shifting Sands of Djibouti
    DECEMBER 2019 ISSUE NO. 331 The Shifting Sands of Djibouti MONTY KHANNA ABSTRACT In spite of Djibouti being one of the smallest nations in Africa, its strategic location coupled with the shifting geo-politics of the region have increased its relevance manifold. Various events have influenced the position of Djibouti in the international reckoning: the secession of Eritrea from Ethiopia, the ‘Global War on Terror’, and increasing piracy off the Horn of Africa. Today Djibouti has the distinction of hosting military bases of four major countries, including China’s first overseas base. China has also started making deep inroads into the economy of Djibouti. This has created a large vulnerability for the United States, France and Japan, all of which depend on China-controlled ports for the sustenance of their bases.

As representatives of a society’s cultural values and political ambitions, the armed forces have traditionally been held within the confines of the modern state. Today, however, soldiers are expected to operate in the shadows of conflicts, drawing little attention to themselves and to their actions; they are physically and emotionally secluded from a civilian population whose governments, especially in the ‘West’, are proceeding to an unprecedented wave of demilitarisation and military budget cuts.

  • The French Strategy in Africa: France’S Role on the Continent & Its Implications for American Foreign Policy
    The French Strategy in Africa: France’s Role on the Continent & its Implications for American Foreign Policy Matt Tiritilli TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin 11 May 2017 ____________________________________________________ J. Paul Pope Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs Supervising Professor ____________________________________________________ Bobby R. Inman, Admiral, U.S. Navy (ret.) Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs Second Reader Abstract In the post-World War II era, the nature of military interventions by traditional powers has changed dramatically due to changes in political priorities and the kinds of conflicts emerging in the world. Especially in the case of the French, national security interests and the decision-making process for engaging in foreign interventions has diverged significantly from the previous era and the modern American format. France has a long history of intervention on the African continent due in part to its colonial history, but also because of its modern economic and security interests there. The aim of this thesis is to articulate a framework for describing French strategy in the region and its implications for American foreign policy decisions. Contrary to the pattern of heavy-footprint, nation building interventions by the United States during this time period, the French format can instead be characterized by the rapid deployment of light forces in the attempt to successfully achieve immediate, but moderate objectives. French policy regarding Africa is based on the principles of strategic autonomy, the maintenance their status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and the ‘Europeanization’ of future initiatives. In order to achieve these objectives, France has pursued a foreign policy designed to allow flexibility and selectivity in choosing whether to intervene and to maintain the relative balance of power within their sphere of influence with itself as the regional stabilizer.

  • FRANCE: National Police, Gendarmerie and First Responders FRANCE: National Police, Gendarmerie and First Responders
    FRANCE: National Police, Gendarmerie and First Responders FRANCE: National Police, Gendarmerie and First Responders Cara Boulesteix January 2014 Overview La Police Nationale (PN, or National Police), La Gendarmerie Nationale (often simply referred to as the Gendarmerie, or military police), Les Sapeurs-pompiers (SP, or firefighters), La Brigade des sapeurs-pompiers de Paris (BSPP, or Parisian firefighting brigade), le Bataillon des marins-pompiers de Marseille (BMPM or Marseille Marine Firefighting Division) and La Sécurité Civile (SC, or Civil Security), guarantee the safety of the French population and of the country’s national interests at home and at times abroad. They also prevent and deter crime, and help those in need when there is a crisis. The PN and SC are part of the Ministry of Interior (MoI). The Gendarmerie, or military police, hold military rank but were attached to the MoI in 2008 for budgetary reasons and their roles overlap in places with the PN. BSPP and BMPM are specialized units of the French Army and French Navy, respectively. Budget The 2013 budget reflected a renewed focus on security. Although many other sectors (including defense) were cut in the latest budget cycle, security was one of the few sectors that was actually augmented (defense cut almost 8,000 jobs). After a flare-up of violence in the summer of 2012, President Hollande promised additional resources for the PN, particularly in troubled suburban areas surrounding large French cities. This pledge was evident in the 2013 budget, which cancelled a previous plan to eliminate 3,200 positions, and instead planned to create 5,000 additional jobs by 2017.1 Many of these new positions will be focused in priority areas for safety, particularly in areas with a high risk for trafficking, underground activities, and violence.

  • FRANCE Army.Pdf
    FRANCE How to Become a Military Officer in the French Armed Forces: The basic education and training of the military officers of the French Army, Navy, Air Force and Gendarmerie is the role of four distinct schools: the Military Schools of Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan (Coëtquidan), the Naval Schools (Brest), the Air Force Academy (Salon-de- Provence) and the Gendarmerie Officers’ College (Melun). These schools educate and train the future officers issued from direct recruitment but also from the internal recruitment (through promotion). The scheme presented above focus on the former way of access to commissioning. In order to become officers, the candidates must first complete their bachelor (3 years) or preparatory (2 years) studies in civilian universities or preparatory classes. Then, they will complete their master studies in the respective service schools. Even though the schools are enabled to deliver higher education diplomas and to organise research activities, cooperation with the civilian institutions remains a key word. European and international mobility, also, is seen as an important vector for the education and training of the future military elites. Non-commissioned officers may also become, through indirect recruitment, commissioned officer after completion of a specific bachelor programme. The vocational training, until the application level, is organised and provided by the military schools themselves. It is a fundamental part of the commissioning curriculum since it is fully integrated in the master diploma, indistinctively
