Your commitment to security and freedom The Swiss army guarantees the sovereignty of our country and ensures the security of all residents. Its mission is enshrined in the Federal Constitution and includes the defence of Switzerland, disaster relief and peacebuilding abroad. Professional military personnel – whether officers or non-commissioned officers – make an important contribution to the fulfilment of these tasks, whether as instructors in schools and training courses, in the staffs or during missions at home and abroad. Their commitment makes the difference, both for the army and for Switzerland
