Thanks for posting the site, it's pretty interesting. I have a question.
What is Marechaussee? I was able to figure out the rest (Navy, Army, Air
Force), but not this branch of service. From the English description of the
budget, it seems that the Marechaussee service is concerned with
telecommunications and information systems. Is that true? If so, that's an
interesting concept. In the States, each branch of the service has its own
command devoted to such matters, although there is an overall Defense
Information Systems Agency in the Defense Department.
