After reading the above article discussing the Côte d'Ivoire planning to sue the French Army, I expect some new billets and some new equipment to be issued.

Each squad will be augmented by an avocat (auxiliaire de justice).

Each avocat and each corporel will be issue 1 each pen, fountain, Dupont, Red lacquor. Quality paper will be issued.

Each company will be augmented with burst transmission communications equipment directly linked to Quai d'Orsay (actually, probably better to have commo silence and avoid Paris).

Although I'm partly joking, this is what the US went through. There are 400 US military Legal Officers in Iraq today. Zahal has JAG officers (legal officers) in line units in combat. I'm hoping France doesn't get bogged down in another Rainbow Warrior incident.

Warm regards,
BobW
