The engagement of the armies in protection and the help with the populations on the own territory
The Minister for Defense made a presentation relating to the engagement of the armies in protection and the help at the populations on the own territory.
Traditionally, the armed forces take part in the fight against the traffics threatening the State of right and social cohesion, in metropolis and overseas (narcotrafic, illegal immigration???). They also act against clandestine gold washing or illicit fishing.
Defense contributes to the management of the crises and the natural disasters on the own territory. The participation of the armies is envisaged in the governmental plans ?Great Cold?, ?Pandemia grippale? or ?POLMAR?, as in firefighting of forest. The forces in alarm and the means of projection of the armies make it possible to lead in an autonomous way of the complex operations or to play a part determining, in particular in the fight against certain pandemias like the chikungunya.
The State lays out, with its average soldiers, of a fast capacity of reaction being able to intervene in support of the permanent structures of assistance and help to the populations. In the event of major crisis, the armies can mobilize quickly and deploy a device which can go to 30.000 soldiers.
The fight against terrorism implies the forces armed within the framework with a total strategy whose objectives were laid down by the Government:
in the airs and on the seas, the armies have means guaranteeing the safety of the airspace and maritime under the authority of the Prime Minister;
defense takes part in the ?Vigipirate plan? with the daily engagement of 1.000 soldiers in missions of public safety;
highly specialized units can intervene (GSIGN, dedicated helicopters, means of information, bomb disposal experts???) to thwart the terrorist threats, including those resulting from the proliferation of the weapons of massive destruction.
Defense develops finally its capacity of anticipation in particular by the research and the development in fields NRBC and of health.
The day before the military processions of July 14, a homage deserves to be paid to the members of the armed forces which, by their permanent engagement in the missions of protection and help of the populations, consolidate each day the existing bond between the Nation and its army.
