This order updates the rules for French Army professional selection exams used to award the fourth-level military certificate and grant access to the rank of major. The main change is that exams and rankings can now be organized not only by specialty domains, but also by sub-domains and, where relevant, professional tracks. It also clarifies sports test rules for candidates with medical exemptions, updates how successful candidate lists are distributed, and broadens the reference materials used for strategic and military culture. The impact is limited to Army personnel and human resources teams managing these selection processes.
