Abstract

The practice of the military psychiatrist comprises different perspectives, including a characteristic operational dimension. The unexpected is frequent in overseas missions, as illustrated by the crash of the Air Algeria flight in July 2014 in Mali and the deployment of French forces in the management of this disaster. This article reports on the medical-psychological intervention carried out in this context.
