The regional associations bring together auditors who have attended an IHEDN regional session, as well as auditors from national, European and international sessions, IHEDN executives, members of ANAJ-IHEDN and thematic associations who live in the regions.

The associations' commitment has four objectives

• Developing the spirit of defence within the nation
• Maintaining and strengthening links between auditors
• Contribute to the debate on national defence
• To assist the Institute in fulfilling its mission
