Military History
The Department of Military History at the Military Academy (MILAC) at ETH Zurich deals with the historical development of the military and of military thought in Switzerland as well as in the Western world since the end of the Napoleonic era. It focuses on the military in the form of state-organised, formally standardised and hierarchically structured armed forces, and provides an understanding of their formation, application and transformation in times of war and peace. In particular, the departement focuses on the development of tactics and doctrine in the German-speaking armed forces during the world war era.
