36 The future Army Staff will have three divisions: across the civilian and military defence structures. - a General Affairs Division - a Resources Division - an Employment Division The Resources and Employment Divisions will be merged with the corresponding structures in the Diekirch Military Centre, optimizing personnel and the decision-making mechanisms within the Army. The General Affairs Division – with its more strategic dimension and in particular responsibility for defence planning, the Army’s international relations and the controlling function – will be collocated with the Defence Directorate for the purpose of enhancing synergies and cohesion. This collocation will group together civilian and military planning entities and bolster the strategic planning capability. This answers a requirement for functionally integrated processes suitable for managing simultaneously the policy and military aspects of crises, including at the planning level. The new structure will thus allow more integrated decision support processes to be implemented The new Army structure provides for a transition from a pure land Army towards a force that can gradually take on joint force functions to manage capabilities – air and aerospace in particular – likely to develop with the implementation of these Guidelines. • The strategic management of the defence effort will be in the hands of a Steering Committee chaired by the Minister of Defence and including representatives of the Defence Directorate and the Luxembourg Army. e. Legislative and regulatory framework Lastly, if the evolution of the Luxembourg Defence organization and the army is to have concrete effects, changes to the legislative and regulatory framework governing defence policy must be brought about. Legislation and regulations will be introduced through legislative channels within the term of the current Government, particularly in the following areas: • the law governing military organization; • the law governing the Military Equipment Fund; • the law governing participation in external military operations and civilian missions; • the Grand Ducal regulations governing the organization of the army.
