Placed under the responsibility of the Military Sports Commissioner, high-level defence athletes benefit from remuneration, professional training, support in case of injury, career transition prospects and a framework of values shared with the armed forces.

In this way, the Armed Forces Ministry provides them with an essential balance for high performance. This allows them to pursue their sporting activity full-time and to fully concentrate on their sporting objectives.

It also provides significant support to the Ministry of Sport, the Olympic Games and to the sports federations, which provide all their resources in terms of preparation and equipment.
