(CEMM for chef d’état-major de la marine - chief of staff
of the navy) during a ceremony wich took place on July 12, 2016 aboard
aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. Admiral Prazuck succeeds to Admiral
Rogel who held this position for the past 5 years and has launched
a major transformation of the French Navy with the plan "Horizon

Admiral
Prazuck takes his command in a context of high operational activity
related to the increased challenges of defense and safety at sea. Operational
excellence is a key to success. It relies on the involvement of every
sailor, civilian and military. Admiral Prazuck will continue the modernization process started by his predecessor. The success of this transformation is closely related to the know-how, the fighting-spirit and morale of the sailors. Admiral Prazuck sailed aboard both submarines and surface combatants. He was commanding the famous "Commandos Marine" (French Navy special forces) between 2010 and 2012. He was then at the head of the human ressources of the French Navy until his appointment as Chief of Navy. |
