Le Conseil superieur de la function militaire (CSFM), a high-level council created in 1969 in response to the military community’s need for ‘dialogue’, or more exactly, for ‘consultation’, is working well. Neither a trade union nor a bureau for lodging complaints, it responds in a unique and often effective way to a real desire to make grievances heard. Misunderstood and criticised, it none the makes its presence felt, as its contribution to the provident fund affair has shown.
