If the problem arises, says M. Huebert, it is the Minister of Defense who has given the impression that he has to reinvent the route of replacement equipment. The sleeping bags are this heredity – when the army received an acquis for the premiere in 1965 – was an example of who chose the simple, necessary solution, simply.
