It is hearsay (i heard it from a French army officer a year ago), but it seems the only army corp in the western world who has improved in the last 15 years in an organizational point of view was the US army (and he said (translated, from a 1-year old memory) "The army in particular, not the airforce"). He was extremely critical of the French army culture, and high level officers especially (like you it seems) and said something like "but at least we aren't Spain or Italy", so i guess they're worse. He also said that one of the lesson from ukraine is that it showed how trash and susceptible to corruption "legacy officers" were, and hopefully officers families (some of which date back from Napoleon in the French army) will now be met with some suspicions.
