Biography
Hello,
This comes from the biography of a naval captain. En 1993 il est muté à l'Etat-major de l'armée de terre en qualité d'officier traitant de la cellule "combat de mêlée-arme blindée et cavalerie"..obviously something to do with the armoured division, not sure about mêlée-arme..
thanks for any help!
