ArticlePublisher: Paris : IIAP, avril/juin 1988Revue Française D'Administration Publique 46, p. 13-22Abstract: The structure and operation of the military establishment is unique in many ways. Above all, both civilians and military sit in Minister's Cabinet. The supreme body consists of four tiers: CEMA, who define national defense policy and the DG, the chief procurement officer; the army, navy and air force chiefs of staff; their individual personnel, budget and legal departments; and controllors and inspector general. The three fundamental operating principles of defence administration are civilian supremacy, balanced forces, and the rise of DGA as the key decisionmaker. This central body is seconded by similar bodies proper to each service, organized along territorial lines and resulting in two coexisting hierarchies for each service branch
