French Defense Ministry announced the reform of the Armed Forces

24
The military leadership of France planned to cut thousands of jobs in the 2015 military in 7,5. The Minister of Defense Jean-Yves Le Drian told today about the plans for restructuring the army. According to him, the reduction will be carried out in accordance with the law on the military program for 2014-2019, which was adopted by parliament last winter. About this newspaper writes MIC.



“It (the law) records an ambitious project for our armed forces, which should allow them to respond to the threats facing our country”, - the Minister stressed and clarified that "the document was drawn up taking into account the limited budget context in which France is now located."

According to him, among the main measures planned for next year, “the dismantling of the 1st artillery regiment in the city of Chalon-en-Champagne, the withdrawal from fleet five ships, as well as the closure of the Adur naval base in the south of the country, the naval command in Strasbourg and the air base in the Paris region of Balar. "

It is also reported on the elimination of the hospital department in the Paris military hospital Val de Grasse. The facility will be redeveloped for research and educational activities. Its therapeutic functions will be gradually transferred to other hospitals in the metropolitan area Ильle-de-France.

«Historical Val de Graz Hospital is located on the grounds of the former monastery of the same name, founded in the middle of the XVI century. During the French Revolution, the religious institution was transformed into a military hospital, and later a military medical school was created there. In different years, it was in the Val de Graz that medical assistance was provided to the first persons of the French Republic and to the leaders of several foreign countries, ”the VPK newspaper reports.

    “The thesis of Chuck Hagel on the need to prepare the American army to“ deal with ”the“ modern and combat-ready ”Russian armed forces at the“ NATO threshold ”is of serious concern. This testifies to the Pentagon's elaboration of scenarios of operations near the borders of our country, ”the Russian Defense Minister emphasized.

    Shoigu also stated that "the sovereignty of Russia, provided by its army and navy, will always be the limit at which not only the Western emperor broke his teeth during the 1152 years of our country's existence." “With regard to Russia at the“ NATO threshold ”, who, if not Washington itself, has stubbornly pushed this“ threshold ”to our doors over the past 20 years,” the minister said.-I think so or everything is serious, but the polar fox is close oh how close

      I don’t know what Shoigu thought about the polar fox, but the scribe seems to be amers. They just bluff, knowing perfectly well that Russia will not give in, but offers to negotiate peacefully. They don’t understand, these are their problems. angry

      I think that the French at the genetic level are afraid of Russia. Some of the Mistrals are worth it, but with such a budget in France, paying penalties and refunds is cool.

        Apparently very much at the genetic level, they are afraid of us, starting from the crusaders and ending with the war 1853-54gg (Crimean War), not counting the Civil .. In total, about 7 times they participated in wars against us and apparently all the time with fear at the genetic level. I think with hatred for us at the genetic level.

        All right. The closer the transmission dates of the boxes, the stronger the Russian Foreign Ministry should put pressure on the Storage. And the situation is a priori in favor of Russia, what will happen, what is not, the show will succeed ...

    My experience shows that as soon as conversations about optimization and contraction begin, it is a synonym for collapse, which easily passes, but restoration is a more difficult matter. And expensive ... It's time to demand a penalty for the trough of Mistral, and then quite brave eaters of frogs will lose their brains ... laughing

    What kind of reform is this about ?! If the regular troops have not caused anything besides laughter for a long time ?! Legion! These are really combat-ready units! There was an excellent article about the French army in the Soldier of Fortune ... There was a chic magazine. So the Frenchman told him very interestingly about his army. What’s embarrassing in such tones. Praised equipment (Leclerci, Rafali, Tigers) were dropped below the baseboard! Too gentle for war. More repaired than they worked. About the French soldiers it was written like that ... There’s no spirit that captured all of Europe with Napo eonom! So all these reforming ... tak..slova hi

    That's how it is, but we say that NATO is going to attack us, and they have disarmament. We must help the valiant French socialists and return the Mistral to them, and to us the money.

    It must be reformed. And then it will be too late. The Americans did not reform, and overlooked that while they were peacefully bombing everyone, the insidious Russia was already on the verge of NATO, as the state secretary of defense said. And space intelligence did not help. Serdyukov to help you. By the way, he is a great specialist in military hospitals.

    The treasurers do not scratch their turnips, the cunning people! Realizing after World War I that their gene pool was badly damaged, they practically did not participate in World War II. Now every Frenchman realizes that after the next war there will be no white people, only black French will be, which is not good. But what about the army? An army is needed, what parades, holidays and carnivals are without an army, because someone must be able to stomp beautifully and fire salutes!

    I think NATO’s European forces are a bluff. Their fighting ability, even among the Germans, is in great doubt.
    The Amerian troops also did not show anything anywhere, and even Iraqi resistance was crushed with "green candy wrappers", they simply bought Saddam's generals.
    That France is declining.

    As a gesture of goodwill, a response to sanctions and a partnership arrangement, the French should be "gifted" (sent for life after "dispossession", of course!) Serdyukov! Problems, straight, him! And the experience is not ordinary and ardor, fervor. Moreover, he is now out of work. Vasiliev is his assistant, again to her hospital, they will help her to put her brains in place. Well, finally, the team of our former Ministry of Defense is just right for such tasks!
