Le soutien logistique d'une intervention outre-mer - Paris : IIAP, avril/juin 1988
French obligations in Africa require a capability to support military operations overseas based on good knowledge of local conditions and, wherever feasible, on prepositioned materiel. Long range logistics (e.g. cargo aircraft, communications, fuel supplies, fiel hospitals in support of substantial forces mobilized at short notice cannot be improvized. Epervier (Chad, 1986) and Prométhée (Gulf of Oman, 1987) are two example of ongoing RDF operations
