Austrian National Defence

Austrian National Defence refers to the overall system and policies Austria employs to ensure its security and protect its sovereignty. This includes maintaining a military force, such as the Austrian Armed Forces, which focuses on land and civil defense. Austria adopts a neutral stance in international conflicts, meaning it does not ally with military blocks like NATO. Instead, it emphasizes peacekeeping missions and cooperation in international security. The country's defense strategy also involves civil protection measures, promoting resilience among civilians, and fostering partnerships with other countries to address shared security challenges.
