Reducing their dependence on oil and increasing their autonomy are two imperatives for modern armies, which are taking a green turn in their own way, albeit for strategic purposes.


It's not about making war eco-responsible.

But the armies are preparing to take a green turn.

On Friday, the Minister of the Armed Forces, Florence Parly, went to Varennes-sur-Seine to present the energy strategy of the ministry.

Scheduled for July in the wake of the report he had received on the subject, his speech was postponed due to ongoing reshuffle.

It is not a question of surfing the“ green wave ”which is on everyone's lips today and announcing some small adjustments,“ green glitter ”while continuing to do as before.

”, she declared.
