	Military of Switzerland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Switzerland is part of the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission (NNSC) which was created to monitor the armistice between North and South Korea.
		For example, Switzerland uses only one rifle model (except for military police, who can also use Heckler and Koch MP5s), the FASS 90, and three types of ground-based anti-aircraft systems, including a Swiss-built and improved version of the Stinger (Swiss army knives are also issued, although they are neither red nor considered weapons).
		Switzerland claims to be able to mobilise the entire population for warfare within 12 hours.

	Switzerland bans military exports to countries in Iraq war
		The country's seven-member cabinet decided to apply Switzerland's strict neutrality rules because the U.S.-led attack did not have the backing of the U.N. Security Council, making it "a conflict between nations," said the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs.
		The ban on exports of weapons and other military supplies applies to "countries taking part in the conflict by sending troops or material," said the secretariat.

	Military Service
		Switzerland not only recognizes military service completed in the other country of origin but also its replacement by forms of civil service as well as the possibility of payment of a sum of money by way of compensation.
		Dual nationals who have completed their military service in Switzerland may, on the other hand, have problems if, when they return, their second country of origin does not recognize military service completed in Switzerland and demands that they complete a second term of military service in their second country.
		Consequently, we strongly recommend that, before considering starting military training in Switzerland, this category of dual nationals find out from the foreign military authorities concerned about the conditions they are subject to.
