Le capitaine de frégate Bachelier est chercheur au Centre des Etudes de Sécurité (CES) de l’Ifri et membre du Laboratoire de Recherche sur la Défense (LRD). Officier d’active dans la marine nationale, sa carrière professionnelle fut essentiellement tournée vers les opérations extérieures. Il a exercé des responsabilités à bord de 8 bâtiments de combat et en état-major.
Diplômé de l’école navale et titulaire d’un Master 2 de géopolitique de la Sorbonne, il est breveté de l’École de guerre depuis 2017. Il a participé à de nombreuses opérations aéromaritimes, nationales ou en coalition, mais aussi à des opérations d'aide humanitaire, opérations d'évacuation de ressortissants ainsi qu’à de nombreuses opérations dans le domaine de l'action de l'État en mer. Son expérience opérationnelle lui permet de contribuer aux études relatives à la région Indopacifique et plus largement aux enjeux maritimes, sécuritaires, capacitaires et stratégiques français.
