Various types of militia commitment (civil protection, army, other)
The militia system, also known as the militia principle, is a common organizational principle in Swiss public life.[1] In the Swiss model of society, the militia system forms a central pillar alongside direct democracy, federalism and concordance.[2]
In practice, it encompasses political and military affairs, and extends to other areas of general interest, such as communal tasks or disaster management.
