Editing Swiss Armed Forces (section)

== Army ==
Under the "[[Armee 61]]" structure, the Army was organised into [[Field Army Corps 1]], [[Field Army Corps 2|2]], and 4, and Mountain Army Corps 3. This structure was superseded by the "[[Armee 95]]" structure and thereafter the "[[Armee XXI]]" structure.

Since the Army XXI reform in 2004, the basic structure of the Army has been reorganised in the following units: infantry [[brigade]]s (2 and 5); [[mountain infantry]] brigades (9 and 12); [[Armoured warfare|armoured]] brigades (1 and 11). Additionally two large reserve brigades (Infantry Brigade 7 and Mountain Brigade 10) exist. Four territorial divisions link the Army with the cantons by co-ordinating territorial tasks inside their sector and are immediately responsible for the security of their regions, depending only on the decisions of the [[Swiss Federal Council|Federal Council]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Grandes unités |url=http://www.he.admin.ch/internet/heer/fr/home/verbaende.html |language=fr |publisher=Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sports |access-date=12 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090502102055/http://www.he.admin.ch/internet/heer/fr/home/verbaende.html |archive-date=2 May 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
