»This chapter explores the rationales and logistics behind the establishment of military prostitution during the First Vietnam War within legal frameworks while simultaneously providing a ground-level perspective of what life may have been like for the thousands of Moroccan, Algerian, and Vietnamese women entangled with the Bordels Militaires de Campagne (Mobile Field Brothels, BMC). As this chapter demonstrates, the institution of BMC thrived on “military exceptionalism”, a discreet state-endorsed status that enabled the French military to bypass legal constraints and justify the organisation of sex work in Vietnam. The practice of Bordel Militaire de Campagne, I argue, evolved into a globalised military sex enterprise, marked by sexual exploitation and violence.«

»Marie Robin then takes this further in Chapter 7 to consider how the unfettered French Army and the Mobile Military Brothels (Bordels Militaires de Campagne, BMC) deployed to Vietnam in the 1940s and 1950s institutionalised French sex trafficking of colonial women during the war of recolonisation in Indochina.«
