MISSIONS AND INTERNAL ARMED

EGEA's article " Requisition, oil and defense " and a recent parliamentary debate on the Finance Bill 2011 show that the action of forces within the domestic missions is still poorly understood.
's book Hacène Belmessous Operation suburbs: How the State prepares urban warfare in French cities Nor has really triggered a debate on the Web strategy-oriented .

In his post, EGEA questions the notions of security and crisis on national territory. " we can see, I have many questions , because all this shows what appears rather imprecise security concept should be explained (especially as it was justified for the safety interior, but everyone thought so to terrorism). Similarly, the notion of crisis (external or internal, for that matter) also deserves thorough . "

In parliamentary debates, interrogation Michel Vauzelle illustrates that the armed actions of the national territory remains unknown MPs:
"Michel Vauzelle:" Let me interrupt you to clarify my question: I am aware that the police and gendarmerie are in charge of maintaining order within our borders. But it appears, in the program No. 178 of the draft budget law for 2011, program entitled "Preparation and Use of Force", an action 7 dedicated to the financing of home missions (MISSINT). there any action by the army in the fight against terrorism, especially in our suburbs? "

Response Jean-Michel Boucheron, draftsman: "The army reached on the national territory for two types of shares: on the one hand, civil security operations Natural disasters such as pollution of beaches by oil spills, and other hand, the Vigipirate . " "

Some answers:

The White Paper on Defence and National Security of 2008 states:

"The National Security Strategy, based on a policy of defense, internal security policy and civil security and other government policies, will find expression in a new legislative framework . The foregoing guidelines call for change of the order of January 7, 1959 on the general organization of the defense, now codified in the Code of defense, and the future code of Homeland Security. These texts should
indeed take into account the objective of security National and definition of the various policies that contribute to it - defense policy, homeland security policy and civil security, foreign policy and economic policy. They will also amend the definitions of concepts relating to situations or contexts that are no longer valid, especially defense and civil defense economic . These concepts, which organized the defense against a ground invasion from the East, must be transformed to match the risks and challenges of globalization.
Thus, civil defense should it leave room for the current notions of homeland security and emergency preparedness resulting from Acts of 2002 and 2004. These concepts cover the protection of populations and safeguarding of facilities and resources of general interest. "

As for the contract set to be able to hire armies of 10,000 men in the country, the White Paper states:

" In the Similarly, a contract operational protection is set Armed with the national territory . It adds support missions provide general What all armies. It includes a deployability of ground forces could go up if needed 10,000 men within days to contribute to the benefit of civil authority, in priority to the safety issues of importance vital to the flow of land essential to the life of the nation, and for controlling access to the territory .
