This type of attaché post is normally filled by a high-ranking military officer, who retains a commission while serving with an embassy. Opportunities sometimes arise for service in the field with military forces of another sovereign state. The attache has the privileges of a foreign diplomat.

Though based in the embassy, he was attached to the French army command during the Crimean War of 1853-1856 and later campaigns.
