This book provides a detailed plan for restructuring the French military, deeply impacted by the Franco-Prussian War. The author argues that France must move towards mandatory service for all able-bodied men, with exemptions for certain categories such as the eldest sons of widows and the disabled. He also proposes a reduction in the length of service for infantrymen, from seven years to two, while maintaining the same number of trained soldiers through an increase in the number of reservists. The book further discusses the need for reforms in the areas of recruitment, training, and organization to ensure that the French army is well-equipped and prepared for future conflicts.
