title: [A new Military Medical Service for the 21st century: a necessity].
abstract: The Military Medical Service is at the cross-road of two deep restructurings, that of Defense and that of the public health system. It will have to be capable of supporting a professional army prepared to conduct foreign operations. The new Military Medical Service relies on seven basic principles which have been submitted to the National Academy of Medicine for examination. It will obviously have to face many challenges.
