Moments of the day, the team of green spaces of the group was honored. Its members received a letter of congratulations from Chief Warrant Officer Pugibet, saluting remarkable commitment in an exceptional situation.
Following the violent storms in February, these staff worked tirelessly to restore a normal situation across all bases, barracks, and regiments of the department.
Nearly 4,800 personnel
Beyond the event itself, this celebration illustrates the essential role of the Support Group Commissariat (GSC), whose slogan “Nourish action” takes on its full meaning here. With nearly 4,800 civilian and military personnel supported within the defense base, the GSC ensures large-scale logistical missions: about 500,000 meals served each year, partly from local products, managing seven restaurants, maintaining 290 liaison vehicles, and distributing 12,000 clothing packages and 22,000 combat rations. In total, nearly six million euros are committed annually to 370 suppliers.
The plant festival also highlighted local partners, such as Agrocampus 64 in Montardon, the municipal greenhouses of Pau, the Château de Pau, and the Family and Rural House of Dax-Oeyreluy, under the Ministry of Agriculture. The latter also announced the upcoming opening of a defense class with GSC Pau from the beginning of the school year, a sign of an ever closer relationship between the educational world and military institutions.
