On Monday, more than 12,000 young men and women joined the RS for the first time. (archive image)

11,871 men and 255 women attended the recruit schools (RS). They will be trained over the next 18 weeks by 2,412 men and 175 women. 48 Swiss abroad traveled to Switzerland to complete the RS. 1,472 Army members serve under the full-time service model.

According to the army, the RS training is aimed at defending against a military attack. In order for Army members to understand the Army as a whole system, there should be more joint exercises between different military branches.

The military says military training – for example for paramedics and for driving vehicles – is also useful in civilian life. And some training, especially for non-commissioned officers, senior non-commissioned officers and officers, can be credited to the ECTS points system.

Defense Minister Viola Amherd is concerned about the increase in the share of women in the military. It has set itself the goal of having approximately ten percent women in the armed forces by 2030. Currently it is around one percent.
