Projet de loi ratifiant l’ordonnance n° 2021-860 du 30 juin 2021 portant changement d’appellation de l’armée de l’air

This French bill would ratify Ordinance No. 2021-860 of 30 June 2021, which changed the official name of the French Air Force (armée de l'air). Under French law, an ordinance issued by the government under delegated powers takes effect on publication, but it must be submitted to Parliament for ratification within a set period to keep its legal force. Based on the title and metadata alone, this bill formally confirms that name change in statute. The full text was not reviewed. The change mainly affects the French armed forces, their personnel, and the administration that uses the service's official designation. It has no direct effect on private citizens or businesses. The reform is largely symbolic and organisational, reflecting the expanded role of the service in space operations.
