Summary

This roundtable discussion, held at Sciences Po during the Campus de l’Innovation Managériale, explores how the French operational reserve enhances national resilience and embodies the link between the nation and its armed forces. The panel includes General François-Xavier Poisbeau, Deputy Secretary General of the National Guard; Mikaël Butterbach, SVP Head of Human Resources at Airbus France; and Stéphane Gilles, President of Projets et Performance, moderated by Benoît Dusehu. The conversation begins with an overview of the National Guard, created in 2016, which currently manages around 77,000 reservists. The speakers discuss the strategic importance of a strong reserve, especially in the context of hybrid conflicts and the ambitious goal to double the number of reservists by 2030 under the recent Military Programming Law. They highlight the role of companies in supporting employee-reservists through partnership conventions, which provide paid leave and other benefits. The discussion emphasizes the mutual benefits: companies gain employees with enhanced skills and a sense of purpose, while the military gains skilled civilians. The panel also addresses challenges, such as convincing employers and raising awareness. The event concludes with a call for collective engagement and the need for companies to see the reserve as a form of corporate social responsibility and an innovative management tool.
