Swiss Army

The Swiss Army, officially known as the Swiss Armed Forces, is Switzerland's military organization responsible for national defense and security. Unique for its policy of armed neutrality, Switzerland maintains a well-trained militia force rather than a large standing army. Most Swiss men undergo military training and remain part of the reserve forces. The Swiss Army is known for its versatility, capable of both defense and humanitarian missions. Additionally, the term "Swiss Army knife" has become synonymous with multi-functional tools, reflecting Switzerland's reputation for precision and innovation in both military and civilian applications.
