15The Court observes first of all that, as it held in paragraph 15 of its judgment of 26 October 1999 in Case C-273/97 Sirdar [1999] ECR I-7403, it is for the Member States, which have to adopt appropriate measures to ensure their internal and external security, to take decisions on the organisation of their armed forces. It does not follow, however, that such decisions are bound to fall entirely outside the scope of Community law.
