«Economic analysis of the sustainability of external operations«
Summary: France is involved in a number of field operations which have cost more than a billion euros a year for almost ten years. An examination of the «additional costs of OPEX» illustrates the new methods of intervention. The purpose of this contribution is to examine, from an economic point of view, the operating cost borne by the armed forces. This cost is difficult to assess because it has no economic value in itself, so we have to resort to indirect analyses, via the consequences for people and equipment. We show that since 2010 serious shortcomings This could ultimately lead to a reduction in France's military potential. Several avenues for improvement are discussed in the conclusion.
