Question 19017 — decorations, badges and emblems

Summary

Mrs. Séverine Gipson draws the attention of the Minister of the Armed Forces to the criteria for awarding the national defense medal. Decree No. 2014-8339 of March 29, 2014 defines the beneficiaries of the national defense medal, rewarding particularly honorable services rendered by active military personnel and the operational reserve during their participation in operational or preparation activities. operational of the armies, namely maneuvers, exercises, field services as well as interventions for the benefit of the populations. In addition, an instruction specifies the conditions under which proposals for the award of this medal must be established and transmitted. These two texts fail to mention key players in the wars of today and tomorrow: drone operators. According to the magazine strategic defense and national security, “the arming of aerial drones, which will provide a reaction capacity adapted to ever more fleeting adversaries and tense spaces, must be accelerated”. These operators represent a major challenge in controlling current and future conflicts. It seems necessary to clarify the rewards to which these operators are entitled, in particular for obtaining the medal of the national defense. Therefore, she would like to know if the Government intends to explain their role in the aforementioned decree so that our drone operators are decorated for their involvement.
