Full textDuring a long 19th century, many Frenchmen narrated what happened in the American West. Travellers was looking for evidence of the birth of an American nation. Tourists visited the national(ist) parks, industrialized natural spaces. Others wanted to settle : migrants, narrated their failures and successes, missionaries could imitate Jesus Christ and die working for their faith. Fenimore Cooper's novels were read by everybody, but few scientists tried to know the West more seriously. Many failed to imagine the West could have been important to understand the American identity, but on the contrary some believed the nation born in the West. Nevertheless, most of the Frenchmen knew the West by what they could read in popular literature or see in the Wild West Shows. The American nation born in France, as it born in the United States or any other country. And the narrative of the West is in the heart of that process. It's the story of a region which had to become "normal", "American". The others have no right to live in the western memory. A counter-narrative existed, in mass culture or catholic writings, but it couldn't resist at the end of the 19th century. The West had to be "American", but it was created by the North, and not by the South, and only colonial trade bound it to the nation. The American nation born through the western story as a conquering, democratic and mainly nation created by settlers and cow-boys. Nevertheless, at the end of the 19th century, this herois West seems to disappear; the story seems to end. It is impossible to narrate the future West, so the "frontier" appear to narrate its glorious past

Full textThe official regulation of the banking economy is issued from the predominant liberalism. The capital and the upper administration of the banks belong to the private area of capitalism. The interbanking competition is hard. The crafts, the investments and the combativity of the banks explain the plasticity of the competitive positions on the markets of the collection of deposits, of the diverse aspects of the savings banking activities, of the credit commercial banking and of the financial bank. The necessity of refinancing) justify innovations and adjustments in the offer of credits and of financial services and in the analysis and the control of the risks. The thesis evaluates the talents of the banks in the exercise of their various business activities, and their more or less aptitude to satisfy the needs of the economy in the successive periods of growth and crisis

Full textThis thesis aims to fill a historiographic vacuum. Namely, it studies the plurality of the use of cinema by the French Armed Forces between the time war cinema was put on hold in September 1919 and the Armistice of June 1940. This work is based on unpublished archives, which were repatriated from Russia. They shed a new light on the link between cinema and the Ministry of War (including the Army), especially for educational purposes. Our study is structured around a double movement, which is at the heart of our research problem: the use of the medium within the military institution, and its inscription in the state landscape of a cinema simultaneously used for education and propaganda ; this plurality attained a certain golden age at that point. The first movement deals with a structural analysis of the Army Cinema Section (ACS), which reemerged in summer 1920, and it includes an overview of its stakes and progress during the interwar period. At the same time, the question of the use of cinema in the French Navy and Air Force reveals a political use, which was focused on meeting structural challenges. In the second part, we study the production of the ACS, including the instructional films at the heart of this filmography, other educational films (such as moral, patriotic, or prophylactic), and propaganda films (particularly colonial). Finally, we explore the mutation of military cinema and its entry into a fully developed age: from the "Phoney War" to June 1940

Full textThe end of conscription announced in 1996 gave way to an entirely professionalized army implying the consideration of new sociopolitical and functional imperatives. In response to these issues, the armies have launched recruitment strategies intended to capture new population segments in order to widen the pool (feminisation, immigrant populations). In this context of structural mutation, the intersection of data collected from interviews taken from a sample of 30 military personnel hailing from immigrant backgrounds and a selection of high-ranked Defence officers allows us to make out the contours of this phenomenon. The analysis of terms of enlistment reveals a typology with three entries listed in the form of those who enlist en rupture, those as stratèges, and those as initiés. Besides deconstructing the vision of homogeneity in profile of these population segments, the analysis of social trajectories reveals that, if their logics for engagement present similarities structurally comparable with the entirety of those who enlist, they equally demonstrate substantial variations and a certain number of specificities in direct connection with their background as descendants of immigrants. The return of intra-military experiences subsequently rounds out our initial typologisation. The adoption of a longitudinal perspective supports a reflection that doubly questions the validity of discourse related to integrative virtues and citizens assigned to armies, a legacy anchored in the mythology of conscription, and the impact of the military experience on that discourse, the representations, and the practices of actors

Full textMedium-sized tonws are an essential element in the organization of the frend territory. For about twenty years they have been confronted with economic difficulties. They have thus become the weak part of an urban network challenged by globalization. This situation raises the question of town and country planing. In the light of their recent initiatives, we evaluate the capacity of these towns to contribute to economic development and planing. In contrast with the traditional hierarchical analysis of the french territory, we use the concept of network to draw a comparison with spain and the united-kingdom and to measure how medium-sized towns innovate in areas such as the economy, culture, social policies. The role and place of these towns in transport networks is taken into account as isolation impinges urban development. We demonstrate that medium sized towns have indeed been involved in a multifaceted movement of innovation and that this is a new phenomenon. Moreover, it appears that there is no fatality n the decline of medium-sized towns. On the contrary, they can play an active rol< in the process of metropolization which characterise contemporary urban developments. However, such an evolution implies, in the french case, a radically new conception of the territory in political and ideological terms. Under these circumstances, medium-sized towns could be key actors in a renewed policy of town and country planing

Full textThe works which are the subject of the thesis have a common outline : alla of them concern, in different ways, the french foreign and defense policy from the third to the firth republic, in its relations with political forces, history of ideas, trends in the parties and public opinion. Historical analysis of the author, in his works and in his thesis, leads to a key conclusion : the traditional division of the political forces, in france, especially the rift between and right, never suqared with the choices in foreign and defense policy. On the contrary, outside events have always tended to weaken or destroy the traditional dividing lines between the political forces. The thesis recalls the events when all the political forces and the parties themselves were radically divided : the german rearmement, the military occupation of the rhinland, munich, the alliance with the soviet union, the armistice in 1940, free france, resistance, the cold war, the war in indochina, the decolonisation and the algerian affair, the foreign policy of general de gaulle, and his strategy of nuclear deterrence. So, for the whole period in view, the problems in foreign and defense policy disrupted both leftist or rightist tendencies and led to a very different distribution of the political forces. Therefore, the thesis points out that the rift between left and right never resisted to shock of the outside events as long as they prevailed in the national history, that is to say threw out the period in view

Full textThe recent conflict in Côte d'Ivoire has led to the militarization of many young civilians on both belligerent sides, especially in the west of the country. What is of particular interest is that many of these youths have assumed a function of "commuting" conscripts, alternating periods of semi-military work, where they had to report to some kind of warlike hierarchy, with periods at home where they were back to a quasi daily routine. This became particularly characteristic as the Ivoirian war evolved into a situation of "no peace, no war" with sporadic violence still occurring, but only at certain periods and within specific settings. This book is an in-depth examination of the different processes that led to their militarization and demilitarization, in a context where borders between the military, civilian, and humanitarian arenas have never been strict, and have varied according to conflict phases, individuals social networks and extent of locality of the recruitment

Full textThis thesis is in two parts : the first one summarizes the major points of the research works written by the author on the military between 1992 and 2000 ; the second one is made of his 28 publications. The main topics of the research are : first, a comparative approach of the training and education of the officers in European abd North American countries. Second, the conditions and the limits of the freedom of thought of the French soldiers and officiers ; third, the development of the research in social sciences on defence in the 90's, and the role of the French Ministry of Defence. The fourth one focuses on the relations between the military institution and the society and the last one on the professionalization of the French armed forces since 1996. Those publications are placed in relation to a broader viewpoint of the defence studies in the last decades

Full textThe events which shake one and the other the countries of West Africa challenge us. The African west corroded by its regional abscesses presents an extremely complex situation which led many States as well as African organizations to take initiatives in order to find an exit with these problems. In spite of these initiatives, weaknesses of nature's structural, logistic, operational, financial however continue to block the development as of their capacities to face the conflicts in the area; added with this report the absence of a standing army force, from where need for the installation of a new strategy to come to end from the conflicts. The transfer of the forces armed to a level higher than that with national spaces is essential because the conflicts have today a tendency to a propagation and a diffusion out of the national borders. This prospect of total nature to regulate the conflicts is the only viable step if, West Africa wants to leave this swirl of insecurity in which it is. This armed force finds already its bases in the total concept of a mechanism of prevention and management of the conflicts and, its legitimacy within the regional and international organizations. Its creation is possible, but only if the African western countries manage to set up a model of organization and operation adapted while profiting from the co-operation of the Western countries

Full textThis study offers a comprehensive perspective on the operational aspects of NATO's nuclear strategy, through an analysis of the role of us nuclear weapons in Europe from 1949 to 1992. Preliminary questions concern : the way NATO's strategy has been constructed ; the nature of this strategy ; and the structure of its historical evolution. Part I, "looking for a common doctrine : the dilemmas of extended deterrence", describes the emergence of the concept of tactical use of nuclear weapons, and the difficulties encountered in the alliance to implement a strategy based on a massive recourse to nuclear weapons. Part II, "a solution to the dilemmas ? Flexible response as a modus operandi for extended deterrence" analyses the compromises on which flexible response is based, the way this strategy has been implemented, and the subsequent modifications in NATO's nuclear posture. Part III, "challenge to extended deterrence : NATO's nuclear strategy and the end of the cold war", analyses the consequences of the political upheavals in Europe for NATO's nuclear strategy, and questions the validity of this strategy. In conclusion, the author suggests, in particular, that political will has played a key role in ensuring that NATO's nuclear strategy develops in a coherent fashion. A critical analysis of NATO's nuclear strategy is also included
Pourre, Catherine. "Les interventions extérieures de l'armée française." Paris 13, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PA131020.
Full textThe outside interventions of French army are decided by the executive's chief. The constitution, legislative and statutory texts have founded and reinforced his preeminence, abolishing the original diarchy. The Gulfs war and cohabitation's periods have confirmed this supremacy. His will can not be inflected only by public opinion, the legislative power not being in possession of efficient powers. To take his decision, he has civil and military supports at one's disposal. The progress of European construction (the two last treaties on European Union) in foreign affairs and defense matters have not yet reached the decision's autonomy of executive's chief, despite the development of new constraints, the European parliament's quest for powers, and the latent risk of a European constitution's adoption. Not having powers to lead far military interventions, France must develop bilateral and multilateral military cooperations, which at term risk to reduce his decision's freedom and action's autonomy. But this freedom is already limited by a increasing juridism of international society and a surveillance of its actors. France must respect and base her actions on law rules and precise international pratices. As a result of this juridical framing and a faint African policy, France is pushed to revise his position and actions on the African continent (interruption to support some governments, revision of defense's accords, creation of an African intervention's force). To keep his rank, she has multiplied all out her participations to United Nations's operations and to military and humanitarian operations. But these operations have not always answered to her interests, and have sometimes raised criticisms, pushing France to re-examine her military intervention's policy

Full textSimon Bernard is born in Dole, in 1779, in a poor family. He owes the French revolution the possibility to enter the polytechnic school, from which he brilliantly graduates. Officer in the corps of engineers, he quickly moves upward the military hierarchy of the empire (campaign of Italy, fortification of Illyria and Antwert) to become aide de camp of Napoleon in 1813. At the fall of the empire, he is hired as assistant to the chief engineer of the united states army. For fifteen years, as a member of the board of fortifications and then of the board of internal improvement, travelling intensively throughout the country, he designs a global system of defense of the maritime frontiers of the country and then takes part in the construction of a large network of internal communications (roads, canals, improvement of river navigation. . . ). He is also the designer of a series of forts, built according to the Vauban principles, which protect the main strategical bays of the eastern coast of the united states: Fort Adams, Fort Monroe at the entrance of the Chesapeake bay, Fort Macon, Fort Sumter, Fort Pulaski and several forts on the gulf of Mexico and in the surroundings of New-Orleans. He is also the architect of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, of the Morris canal, of the Delaware and Raritan canal and is responsible for selecting the route of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal. A brilliant engineer, an eager worker, a convinced liberal, an admirer of the united states, a friend of Lafayette, Simon Bernard plays an important part in the Franco-American relationships in the first half of the XIXth century. In 1830, convinced that France is at a turning point in its political history, he accepts Louis Philippe's offers to come back and supervise French fortifications

Providing theoretical and methodological frameworks to question the information practices of citizens and professional groups is probably one of the contributions of information science. This research has the following objectives: 1) Describe the commander’s information practices, mainly the need, the research, the use, the sharing, and the feedback. 2) Identify the factors that interact with commander’s information practices. 3) Discerning the relationship between information practices, sensemaking and information management in the military affairs. This exploratory qualitative study is based on SMM (sense-making method) of Brenda Dervin. The methodology is enriched by the retrospective approach of sensemaking of Karl E. Weick. Twenty-eight individual interviews and a group interview are the source of research data. The study conducts to the establishment of factors influencing commander’s information practices. The main issue is the framework of commanders’ information practices dealing with the variables like trust, networks, structure, organizational culture including sensemaking

F. ) as from 1910, did not escape from this rule. In fact, from the arrival of the french in the region in the middle of the nineteenth century until the four territories which made up the a. E. F. Federation (gabon, congo, central africa and tchad) became independent in 1960, many indigenous "allies" were integrated in the french colonial administration. This group of assistants was composed of differents kinds of individuals (traditional chiefs, interpreters, nurses, domestic servants, military men, militiamen, secretaries, ect. . . ). Although this group of people occupied the lowest positions in the colonial administration, they formed a distinct social category in the colonial society. To the extent that they became almost like a pressure group which the colonial authority had to take into account. After the second world war, this group of individuals benefited from the decolonization movements from which they emerged as the new local elites. In fact, it was the political-administrative assistants which later took over the direction of the four new countries of the former a. E. F. At time of independence in 1960

Full textIn the first part of their career, french officers of differents social backgrounds and school level mix and share the same ranks. They are employed in similar positions even if they have unequal institutionnal fates. The future hight-ranking officers (those who come from saint-cyr) and those who are intented to remain in lower ranks (those who come from the noncommissioned officer corps) are promoted together until the rank of captain. Everyone is aware of his career development but the differences only appears long afterwards the beginning of the officers careers. The progressive selection process of the military elites facilitates the deployment of practices of classification and distinction which weaken the stability of the hierarchical scale and generate new borders within the corps. Two fieldworks in a military school and in a regiment allowed us to study the practices of distinction between peers. Their characteristics are linked to the enhanced prestige of the officers corps engaged since 1945. They reveal contradictories registers of institutional evaluation whi;ch vacillate between the promotion of university qualifications and the defense of military specificity who refuse to be clearly indexed to them. Among officers, the "combat" capital governs the prestige system and conditionned the granting of honors and dishonors. But, first and foremost, the "warrior gesture" as well as the conquest of dominant institutional positions, mobilize social, linguistic and cultural capacities

Full textWhile they used to play a major role under the previous regimes (monarchies or empire), the French generals gradually disappear from the political life of the Third Republic. Last among them, from 1871 until 1914, 23 officers are designated to become War ministers, before being replaced by civilians. Who are these officers? What are their social backgrounds? Which professional career did they follow? What political role did they play? That is what we tried to figure out through the collective study of this group of military ministers. Collectively, this group reflects the social, professional, and political mutations that the French Army undergoes around the turning to the twentieth century. Socially, it is symbolic of the rise of the scholars at the expense of the “heirs”. Professionally, it shows the emergence of modernistic engineers officers, who gradually impose themselves upon the former adventurer chiefs. Politically, it illustrates the withdrawal of the soldiers from the political life and their replacement by civil ministers. Thus these 23 generals appear as the witnesses of a social, political and military world that fades out. They reveal the transition between an army of romantic inspiration, defeated by Germany in 1871, and the democratic and positivist republican army, victorious on the Marne in 1914. In order to portray these officers in both their collective and individual dimensions, our work is drafted in two distinct parts: a, social, professional and political prosopographical research, and a biographical dictionary

Full textEntering into a vast movement of reforms in the second half of the XVIIIth century, the French army demonstrates its willingness to shape soldiers. Our analysis will first focus on this institution's new concern that appears in the opinions of officers. Debates about desertion, rewards or drill pave the way for a new line of separation between deserter and soldier, whose esteem has to be enhanced, and whose body has to be straightened up. When an individual enlists, what trials will he undergo to meet the norms and get accepted in this new worls? The cross-questionings of deserters allow us to analyze military life from the point of view of the individuals. Hierarchical violence, separation from family, conflicts with comrades are as many patterns generating the sufferong of soldiers. Speeches on soldiers, speeches from soldiers are echoing to shed light on the running of the institution

Full textDefense policy has traditionally remained outside the realm of EU authority, remaining sovereign domains of the Nation-state. In many ways, the defense “exception” has kept the question out of public policy literature and in particular literature dedicated to the study of European public policy. The progressive evolution of the security context with the fall of the Berlin wall has highlighted the need to move beyond this theoretical exceptionalism to study the question as a public policy like any other. The modernizations of national armed forces and of general defense policy in Europe in the mid-1990s, accompanied by surprising progress in European defense, gives pause to question the multi-dimensional influences of the different levels of governance present within the EU. France and the UK have reorganized their armed forces based on concepts of jointery and interoperability and underlying networks underscoring the importance of coalition warfare. These changes, though not mandated by Europe, who has no real means of doing so, were nonetheless influenced by the EU which catalyzed policy change and provided a forum for policy transfer initiatives through mechanisms such as socialization.

Full textThis thesis proposes a multidimensional history of the army of Mauritania since the French military conquest of the Western Sahara to the coup d’état of 10 July 1978 that inaugurated a long era of military governments. The colonial army, just like the colonial state, has its own characteristics. It develops, through its experiences, multiple adaptation strategies, both in terms of its organisation and military missions. Its two salient features are the double recruitment (that differentiates between sub-Saharan tirailleurs and « suppletifs maures » and the multiplicity of its missions (political, military, defense and policing).These specificities are partly inherited by the national armed forces through the transmission of military power (and domain ?). This process is particular contingent and must be analysed in all its complexity. This study of the effects of institutional transformations, linked to the analysis of the geopolitical stakes of the sub-region, demonstrates that local issues and dynamics are as significant as global ones. The study of the history of the Mauritanian army, gendarmerie and national guard since independance until the mid 1970s allows to identify the continuities, but also the trajectory of the postcolonial Mauritanian state, whose path is linked both to the agenda of local actors and the old colonial war

Full textThe advent of the all-volonteer forces has led to a profound change in the French defence system. The suspension of the draft, a new policy attuned to international and European issues, the restructuring of public management and the increasing weight of humanitarian concerns have combined to bring about a reshaping of the identity of the French soldier. To fully grasp the extent of such a reform and its impact on defence awareness within French society is the primary aim of this dissertation. The survival of the bond between the nation and its armed forces in the context of globalization and new strategic policies, together with the necessary mending of the social fabric loom large in the following pages

Full textThis work aims at focusing on the entanglement between the West German and the French radical Lefts during the decolonisation process after World War II. We will study how this encounter has brought the European Left (and especially the French and West-German Lefts) to question the transformations of the post-1945 World and to participate in the birth of a New European Radical Left at the beginning of the 1970s. While the colonial tradition of Germany was not as strong as the French one, the question of fascism was at the centre of many debates within the radical Lefts. Hence, the emergence of the Third-World as a political subject, the disintegration of colonial Empires and the ongoing anti-imperialist struggles have crossed these fears of a possible fascisation. Thus, we aim at questioning the theoretical and political circulations between the French and the West-German Lefts during decolonisation in order to analyse both the birth of a wider anticolonial and anti-imperialist political consciousness but also the constitution of a New Left (in France and in West Germany) through the way in which “external” issues (colonialism) have crossed debates on internal issues (the fear of the fascisation)

The Medical Intelligence unit of the French armed forces Center of Epidemiology and Public Health has developed an information system in order to protect their health. Created to be used in usual or crisis situation, the system provides quickly decision-makers, experts, veterinary, pharmacist and army medical officer with useful information for decision making. The aim of our study is to offer an overall assessment, in particular to determine if it corresponds to the needs and practices for the users.These last years, a real technological revolution has occured, giving birth to numerous informational devices intended to help the users. Scientific studies to analyze the way the latter use them were then carried out.Resting on current theoretical foundations in information and communication sciences and on a methodology of mixed research associating quantitative and qualitative methods, we have analyzed the existing device and studied to what extent it becomes integrated into the information and communication practices of the staffs connected in the Military Health Service.This study allows to bring new knowledge on the french military practices, still largely unknown, and to propose an adaptable assessment grid to various documentary information systems

Full textBetween the end of 1942 and 1943, the first maquis came into existence in occupied France. While their members were mainly young people who refused to be sent as workers to Germany and sought refuge in the woods and the mountains, during the war the maquis turned into military formations. The memories of their fight during Liberation has largely overshadowed the history of their relationship with Free France and its British and American allies. However, as early as 1943, London, Algiers, and Washington discussed the integration of the maquis into their war plans, even creating the necessary structures. While taking into consideration the political, strategic, and diplomatic disagreements that were part of the discussions, this study intends to bring back the cooperation between the maquis, Free France, and the Allies into the narrative of the war. It looks at individuals who, within British and American institutions as well as Free France structures, dedicated their efforts to work alongside the maquisards, and built networks to assist them. Numerous obstacles came in the way of intelligence services when they took on that task: sporadic communication channels with occupied France, the maquis’ mobility, and the reluctance of regular military headquarters — among other problems. They managed, however, to carry the voice of the maquis back to the head of regular armies and Allied States, allowing them to be progressively taken into account in general war planning, even as coordination between maquisards and regular forces constituted an almost unprecedented strategic challenge. From military headquarters to the realm of clandestine operations, this study takes interest in the people who found themselves involved in this common fight, addressing the identities and fighting experiences of different individuals brought together by the fortunes of war. It also explores an experience of war and repression shared by the maquisards and the London and Algiers envoys who met them in their clandestine life, together building strong ties of solidarity. It follows them through the progressive liberation of the French territory, on the stage of its competing powers, reaching until 1945 to follow those fighters during their transition from war to peacetime, and beyond that year — shining a light onto the memories and narratives that ensued

Full textThe first french colonial empire had appeared at the time of Colbert and had survived until the First Empire, despite 7 important wars. Since 1674 specialized troops were sent from the Navy to the colonies. A swiss regiment was added in 1719. The defence system was planned during Maurepas'time from the naval dockyard of Rochefort. The military collapsus which had occurred during the Seven Years war compelled Choiseul to give the responsibility at the Army. In 1772 the Navy recovered it by creating colonial infantry and artillery regiments. The system worked well during the war of American Independence. But the Revolution forced to adapt. New colonial demi-brigades in the West Indies succeeded in mixing white and coloured men, and slaves ; unlike the East Indies where the troops of the ancient times were maintained. At the end, The Consulate decided to remove of these adaptations of the colonial army

Full textOn the eve of the Second World War, France ruled over a wide colonial Empire managed, for the major part, by the minister of the colonies. In september 1939, France declared war to Germany and all its possessions were mobilized and especially those of such territories as La Reunion and Madagascar. Upon signing the armistice, and after somewhat hesitating, the governors of these two islands in the south-west of the Indian ocean, eventually made up their mind as to keep supporting Marechal Petain. All the represive laws eancted by the Vichy regime were henceforth implemented, despite a blockade that caused much suffered among the whole of the population. In May and September 1942, the British troops landed on Madagascar. Once the armistice was signed, in November of that very year, La Reunion joined the ranks of the France Libre, several days later. All was then set up to take part to the war effort on the Allies' side. However, the day to day life remained very hard in the two islands. The numerous elections taking place from 1945 onwards, gave rise to the arrival of new political personalities whose claims were much more different. In 1946, The Reunion island became an oversea department, but one election ended up in a tradegy. Madagascar, on the other han, was gradually becoming independant and headed to a clash which broke out during the upheaval of March 1947

Full textThe south of Morocco was the last place with strong resistance that had a real position against the penetration of the army and its colonisation. In fact, although the French army had reached and colonised some places there, in Morocco, the south organised itself to resist in spite of its inferiority in number and quality its equipment. And, if there were not the air force army and the politics actions there to opposided and to devide the population, the south people could get more resistance for a longer time and braked the process of invasion of the French plog. So, we asked our selves about the movement of resistance of the south. We started to think the means of it and how it had been seen. If, we locked at the archives of French army, we’ll realised that for them, the resistance of the south was only a movement of villains and foreigner of the low; but they were not brigands nor rebeliouses. They were really the people that defended their territory their owns. They were the real aspiration of the population which had been founded in clears bases

Full textA former student of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (graduating in the "Letters" class of 1909), who served in the active army during the First World War, Henri Morel immediately strikes one as a person of paradoxical character. Scarred by his four years at the battle-front he became receptive to the ideas of the Action française and, writing a series of original articles, called into question the system of the nation-in-arms. The non-conformity of this "errant" intellectual attracted the attention of Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, who grew into a friend whilst keeping Morel in his network of patronage. An analyst in the Intelligence Section of the army general staff, and subsequently appointed military attaché to the French embassy in Spain from the outset of the Spanish Civil War, Lieutenant-Colonel Morel's anti-fascist opinions left him singing out of tune. Supporting the Spanish Republic for the sake of French national interest, he suggested to Léon Blum that France intervene in the conflict and his position stood in contrast to that of the French high command. In November 1942, Morel took part in the attempt to resist the German invasion of the Southern Zone of France that general de Lattre initiated. Deported in July 1944, Morel died in Neuengamme Camp

Full textOn June 6, 1944, 177 men commanded by Philippe Kieffer take up in Normandy in the UK sector Sword. The "Kieffer Commando" is this day the only French unit engaged in the landing ground of Overlord. Condemned to be in the collective memory as the "French D-Day," Kieffer's men saw their history and memory of their work widely amputees, forgotten or distorted since summer 1944. The objective of this thesis is primarily to restore the true history of the Kieffer Commando, since the formation of the unit in 1942 until its dissolution in July 1945 by returning to those times before and losers in the after June 6: the raids started in 1942 and 1943, and the campaigns of Holland and Germany during the fall of 1944 and the first months of 1945, the use of the free French unit in the general strategy of the Allies between 1942 and 1945, constituting the core of this work. Much is then made to the personality of the chef, Philippe Kieffer, but especially to his 176 men who accompany him on June 6, through a study to outline the contours of these sociological sailors of the Free France engaged in the British Army. A final section then looks at the different representations of the "Kieffer Commando" and the role played during the war, thus measuring its proper place in our collective memories, that of France such as the Free French Navy from 1944 to May 2008, date of creation of a new "Kieffer Commando"

Full textThe S. A. S. Has gained a major following, yet what do we really really know about the Special Air Service? In July 1941, David Stirling founded the L Detachment of the Special Air Service Brigade in the Middle East. The initial concept saw the light of day with special missions behind enemy lines thanks to their ability to adapt to each one individually. On leaving the Middle East, the S. A. S. Got involved in the Mediterranean, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Norway. Further to various administrative changes, in 1944 a brigade was made up of two British regiments, two French battalions and a Belgian company as its fighting units. The name S. A. S. Stands for both the unit and the man. On trying to define these two bodies (man and institution), not only prosopographic and sociological studies but also statistical and memorial analysis of the different S. A. S. Missions based on the chronological events, were carried out on the front. The myth, having taken a disproportional place, historically speaking, is necessary in order to identify the emblematic characters and the legendary events. The brigade disbanded the 5th October 1945; its memory relates the historical facts: the French, Belgian and British partnership had retrieved their own lands now to be self-governed. By pitting the myth against the facts, the birth of this unit, still active today in the United Kingdom, recovers its rightful place in the history of the Second World War

Full textThe Gendarmerie nationale is a military institution and one of the two French national police forces, with responsibilities regarding population security in rural and suburban areas. Due to public management reforms and several social movements, this institution is currently experiencing important changes in people management. As a result, the set of game rules that applies to command itself is subject to modifications. The gendarme condition – meaning the entire scale of rights, obligations and missions attached to the position – is evolving and traditional postures, based on disciplinary attitudes and availability standards, are weackened. This study focuses on the day-to-day work of officers in command positions and how these chiefs handle their new situation. Based on an ethnographic approach, the research process analyzes chief-work throught a set of roles, which are discused as means for action in a strategy-based approach. It shows how certain officers in command position choose to reshape the way they make use of their roles, adopting a support based posture rather than a more traditional authority based posture

Full textThe liberal French Revolution of 1789 rejects all ideas of military service but, forced by the 1789 armed revolution and radicalisation that led to war, the French revolution is compelled to resort to enforcing enrolment before it established a military conscription and defining five classes of conscripts for the Republic. Making use of this conscription, Napoleon's government develops it further by enforcing recruitment which makes military enrolment rational recruitment. This is the kind of enforced recruitment that the French Restauration will put in place in 1818 under the name of " appeal ", having abolished the conscription for building up a professional army. But the same tensions are experienced as during the rising up of the French Revolution during the XIXth century. In opposition to those who want to identify citizens with soldiers, those who want to reduce the standing army which demonstrates too openly the military power of the State or those who want to turn the national guard into a national militia, those who want to bring together citizens and soldiers by turning the standing army into a national military high school, there are always those who want a distinct differenciation between the civil and military society of the State - it is them who defend the possibility of replacement and a long lasting military service. From the " Monarchy of Juillet " to the second French Empire, they were responsible for the failure of numerous projects of reform. In fact, we must wait for the emergence of Prussian power, and especially the disaster of 1870, to establish again the principle of personal service. Nevertheless the syncretism of 1872, for which the main point is the deletion of the replacement, does not identify symbolically the citizen with the soldier as was the case during the French Revolution, and furthermore, it does not see in each citizen an effective soldier. The professional army born under the French Restauration does not disappear, even if it has a new function : that of providing military training to new citizens. Finally the law of 1872 establishes two principles : obligation for every citizen to enrol during wartime - legitimated by patriotic duty - and a first military organisation of the nation (not in the form of this armed militia claimed since the French Revolution - an army merged in the nation - but in the form of an armed nation, with a military system geared to enrol its citizens during wartime
