AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This order updates the list of activities that allow military personnel under the authority of France’s Ministry of the Sea to receive the operational absence allowance. The revised list covers maritime state action, fisheries and environmental policing, certain ORSEC emergency activations, overseas short-term support missions, investigations after maritime incidents, night operational preparation, approved outreach activities, and guard or duty shifts in land-based operational centers such as CROSS/COSS. The practical effect is narrow: it clarifies which assignments qualify for the allowance. Military units and administrative teams responsible for pay should use the new annex when checking eligibility.
