Excerpt from Projet de Réorganisation Militaire
La France vient de traverser une des phases les plus critiques de son histoire. Elle doit prendre un parti dont dépendent son avenir et celui des idées qu'elle représente. Nous nous étions attardés dans les souvenirs d'un passé glorieux, sans tenir compte des progrès effectués autour de nous. Nous avons marché au combat un contre trois avec une artil lerie inférieure en nombre, en portée et en justesse, sans avoir derrière nous les bases les plus élémen taires d'une organisation militaire quelconque. Le lendemain de leur victoire, les Allemands se sont trouvés vis - à-vis d'un pays sans gouvernement, sans administration et sans armes.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed plan for restructuring the French military, deeply impacted by the Franco-Prussian War. The author argues that France must move towards mandatory service for all able-bodied men, with exemptions for certain categories such as the eldest sons of widows and the disabled. He also proposes a reduction in the length of service for infantrymen, from seven years to two, while maintaining the same number of trained soldiers through an increase in the number of reservists. The book further discusses the need for reforms in the areas of recruitment, training, and organization to ensure that the French army is well-equipped and prepared for future conflicts.
