Finnish Defence Forces

The Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) are responsible for the defense of Finland against external threats. Comprising the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the FDF focuses on maintaining national security and supporting international peacekeeping efforts. Finland has a unique conscription system, requiring most male citizens to serve in the military for a period, while women can volunteer. The FDF emphasizes readiness, territorial defense, and collaboration with other countries, particularly within the framework of the EU and NATO partnerships, to enhance regional security. Their overall mission is to protect Finland's sovereignty and ensure the safety of its citizens.
