[...] dès le milieu du XIXe siècle, les attachés militaires sont apparus comme membres réguliers et permanents de l'équipe de l'ambassade. La fonction classique par excellence de l'attaché militaire est l'observation. De nos jours, son objet est double. D'une part, militaire, tant au sens strict du terme que dans ses aspects connexes : industriel, économique, scientifique, diplomatique, etc. [...] L'attaché militaire est bien placé pour suivre [...] certains développements [tels] les coups d’État et l'instauration de gouvernements militaires. [...] et, grâce à ses contacts officiels, il pourra entretenir et cultiver, ensuite, ces relations au niveau gouvernemental. Cet aspect nouveau de la fonction de l'attaché militaire explique pourquoi, dans plusieurs pays d’accueil-notamment du tiers-monde-cet officier est, avant tout, un diplomate politique. Par contre, lorsque son pays est gouverné par un régime militaire, il en est souvent le véritable représentant, éclipsant ainsi l'ambassadeur. 6, record 1, French, - attach%C3%A9%20militaire
