“Win the war before the war.”
The French armed forces are a fundamental actor in the national security and defense strategy.
I want them to be permanently prepared to face a major conflict, operating in all environments and fields of confrontation to “win the war before the war” from the stage of competition, a normal state of the world based on an international order governed by law. They will act with respect for the values and ethics that drive them, are committed to serving the French people, and to performing well in their operations. They are ready to resolutely engage in a situation of international contestation and, if necessary, in a confrontation by imposing favorable force ratios in various environments, whether by adding to or integrating into inter-institutional mechanisms or coalition operations.
