The Swiss Army as a Model Militia System
The Swiss militia saves money for taxpayers and frees soldiers from constant service. Recruits train 45 days infantry and 80 days cavalry, with annual or biennial reserve duties. Schooling and yearly rifle practice back up the short service, while target shooting, prizes, and local practice spots bolster national defense. Switzerland’s 337,000 martial soldiers stand ready with a population under 3 million.
