France takes part in joint military exercises in United States • FRANCE 24 English

For the past month, more than 200 French military personnel have been stationed at Fort Irwin in California's Mojave Desert. For the first time, France has been invited to take part in joint exercises with five allied countries: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Initiated by the Pentagon, the project, dubbed "Convergence", is designed to enable all these armies to cooperate in conflict zones and act as an effective coalition. Now that war has returned to Europe, the stakes are high for France. Our correspondents Valérie Defert and Pierrick Leurent followed the French army in the field, with Wassim Cornet.
