Unexploded ordnance
Duds are munitions that have not exploded or have not exploded completely, for example because they have landed in water, snow or soft ground. Unexploded ordnance and ammunition remnants can be found on former and active firing ranges, in target areas in the mountains and on glaciers. Dangerous relics from the service era also turn up time and again during clearances in attics and cellars. This type of «reminder» is prohibited, because unexploded ordnance is very dangerous and does not belong in the hands of amateurs! What was dangerous in the past may still be dangerous today. Do the right thing and protect yourself and others.
Relations internationales
En tant qu'instrument essentiel de la politique suisse de sécurité, l'Armée suisse dépend aussi des échanges qu'elle effectue dans le cadre international. Cet état de fait requiert une gestion et une conduite empreintes de constance et de cohérence afin de servir les intérêts du pays et de l'Armée. Les domaines d'activités qui en résultent se concentrent sur la préservation des intérêts propres et sur l'accomplissement des obligations internationales de la Suisse.
