Représentant en mission
During the French Revolution, a représentant en mission (French pronunciation: [ʁəpʁezɑ̃tɑ̃ ɑ̃ misjɔ̃]; English: representative on mission) was an extraordinary envoy of the Legislative Assembly (1791–92) and its successor, the National Convention (1792–1795). The term is most often assigned to deputies designated by the National Convention for maintaining law and order in the départements and armies, as they had powers to oversee conscription into the army, and were used to monitor local military command.
