Paris - The French Defense Ministry said May 2 it was rationalizing two internal units charged with economic and social supervision of closures or reductions of defense sites.
The sole agency for preparing and supervising an announced reorganization of military units on the territory will be the délégation aux réstructructions (DAR), the ministry said in a statement.
The DAR takes over work previously shared with a parallel agency, délégation interministérielle aux réstructurations de defense. The latter unit notably worked on social measures related to the restructuring of DCN and GIAT.
“This marks a determination to make a start of our own reforms,” a ministry spokeswoman said.
The French armed forces are braced for base closures and consolidation as part of cost savings needed to support front-line operations. The reorganization is expected some time after the white paper on defense and security is released around June 19.
