The 2008 French White Paper on Defence and National Security was a defence reform of the French Armed Forces. On 31 July 2007, president Nicolas Sarkozy ordered M. Jean-Claude Mallet, a member of the Council of State, to head up a 35 member commission charged with a wide-ranging review of French defence. The commission issued its white paper in early 2008.〔Official Presidential Website, (Letter of Engagement to M. Jean-Claude Mallet, 31 July 2007 )〕 Acting upon its recommendations, Sarkozy began making radical changes in French defence policy and structures starting in the summer of 2008. The proposed force structure was to be complete by 2014-15.〔http://merln.ndu.edu/whitepapers/france_english2008.pdf〕 ==Summary== * As part of the White Paper Sarkozy declared that France "will now participate fully in NATO." * Total cuts of 54,000 personnel. * The French Armed Forces will retain the ability to deploy up to 30,000 troops in a single overseas deployment. * For the first time, cyber security (both defensive and offensive) was also listed as a key priority for the French state. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2008 French White Paper on Defence and National Security」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
