Partners

Cette exposition est organisée en partenariat avec l’Établissement de communication et de production audiovisuelle de la Défense (ECPAD) et avec le soutien du CIC, grand partenaire du musée de l’Armée.
Elle a bénéficié du concours exceptionnel de l’Institution Nationale des Invalides, de la Cellule d’aide aux blessés de l’Armée de Terre et du Service du commissariat des armées.



CIC

The CIC has been a key partner to the Musée de l’Armée at the Invalides since 2003, sponsoring temporary exhibitions which highlight decisive but sometimes little-known phases in France’s history.
The Life of a Soldier. From Ancient Rome to the Present Day takes visitors on a journey of discovery, where they will find out all about everyday life of soldiers on active duty down through the years. The exhibition’s mission is to train the spotlight on the daily lives of combatants, since they spend most of their time on ordinary tasks rather than in combat, which only accounts for a tiny part of soldiers’ lives. Visitors will be able to see that, in spite of technological developments and shifts in how war is waged, a soldier’s existence has remained remarkably unchanged through the centuries.
In the context of the exhibition, the CIC is funding three multimedia installations: the first one is dedicated to the soldier of the future, with an innovative animation; the second uses animated maps to examine logistics and convoys, and the third explores the System D by showing objects that actually belonged to soldiers.
The CIC’s sponsorship aims to spark the interest of a broad public by offering an exploration of the less familiar aspects of the life of soldiers working to restore peace around the world.


ECPAD

The Établissement de Communication et de Production Audiovisuelle de la Défense (ECPAD) is a long-standing partner to the Musée de l’Armée and is contributing to the exhibition The Life of a Soldier. From Ancient Rome to the Present Day with still and moving images, as well as its audiovisual expertise. Created in 1915, the ECPAD is the defence department’s picture agency and direct descendant of the very first army photographic and cinematographic sections. It has an incomparable collection of audiovisual and photographic archives, comprising over 12 million photographs and 31,000 films.
Under the aegis of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, it produces photo and film reports in France and throughout the world, raising awareness of defence department news and contributing to the transmission of memory.
The ECPAD’s mission is to ensure that reporting teams are always available to testify in real time to the actions of the French armed forces throughout the world. Their work is made available to French and international media.
The ECPAD also provides training and work placements for students at the École des Métiers de l’Image (EMI).


Institution nationale des invalides

Ever since it was founded in 1674, the Institution Nationale des Invalides (INI) has been inextricably linked to soldiers, working to reconstruct mutilated bodies and encourage recognition of these women and men,and the price they have paid for their dedication.
Overseen by the Ministry of the Armed Forces, the institution pursues its noble mission with the help of the leading names in military medicine who work there. Over the centuries, all the supervisory authorities have provided it with the best possible material conditions needed to rehabilitate the women and men it treats.
A centre of excellence for post-traumatic rehabilitation, the institution is familiar with every sort of injury. It works closely with all the organisations involved in social and professional reintegration and admits soldiers from every military field suffering from serious injuries for reconstructive work at any time of their lives.


The Cellule d'Aide aux Blessés de l'Armée de Terre

Created on 1st September 1993 by the Chef d’État-Major de l’Armée de Terre (CEMAT), the Cellule d’Aide aux Blessés de l’Armée de Terre (CABAT)’s mission is to aid active army soldiers who are wounded and their grieving families, in collaboration with the full range of institutional, private and non-profit actors.
Operating under the authority of the military governor of Paris and the orders of the CEMAT staff, it provides support for wounded soldiers as soon as they are hospitalised and puts its expertise to work in helping them with their professional reintegration plans.
Working closely with home units and ministry’s social programme, the CABAT ensures that wounded soldiers receive aid right from when they are admitted to hospital until their return to military life or move to the civilian sector.


Service du Commissariat des Armées

The Service du Commissariat des Armées operates within the Ministry of the Armed Forces where it is the main provider of joint support for the armed forces to enable them to accomplish their missions. Its work is based on operational commitments as well as the provision of routine local support. It employs over 25,000 people and is functionally organised into national expert centres specialising in procurement, finance, internal accounting control, logistics, combatant support, operational support and individual financial rights.
