Here, the strategic foundations, force development, and army and armament planning are developed according to political guidelines, as well as tasks in the international security context are carried out. The leadership, management, and coordination of all cross-sectional areas (personnel, finance, real estate) also fall within the responsibility of the Army Staff. The Swiss Army employs over 9,000 staff in four military and around 200 civilian professions – and this at 140 locations across Switzerland. The Swiss Army also takes care of the next generation: it trains apprentices in over 30 professions.
