Défense Conseil International

The Défense Conseil International is the French Ministry of Armed Forces' operator for exporting French military knowledge, training and technical assistance internationally. The organisation is a merger of 4 predecessors - COFRAS (established in 1972), NAFVCO (1980 now Naval Group), AIRCO (1984) and DESCO (1990). The four companies were once part of four branches of the French army (Land, Navy, Air and Special Forces, respectively) before unification in 2000.
