AP, PARIS — France says it plans to cut 54,000 defense jobs and boost intelligence efforts.

The much-awaited new French defense doctrine foresees leaner but more high-tech fighting forces that can quickly deploy to battlefields from Afghanistan to Africa.

It is the biggest review of France's military and security posture in 14 years.

The Associated Press obtained the plan from the French president's office.

President Nicolas Sarkozy will present the plan to defense and military officials Tuesday.
