arme d'origine

English translation: current employer

French to English translations [PRO]
Military / Defense / Fire brigade
French term or phrase: arme d'origine
This term appears in guidance for candidates applying to join the fire brigade. A list is given of conditions to be fulfilled and documents to be provided. The sentence is as follows:

Un document de son Arme d’origine justifiant de sa disponibilité sans réserve à la date programmée de l’incorporation.

I understand what the term means in general (Unit/Department to which the person is attached), but I am not sure what it refers to here. Does it refer to the unit to which the applicant is applying - which doesn't make sense; their previous unit in the armed forces or perhaps just their current employer?

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Thank you very much for your help. I think this is a good option. This would also cover applicants who have previously served in the armed forces but are not serving at present.
