SWISSINT
International peace-keeping is one of the three missions of the Swiss Armed Forces; this mission is carried out by SWISSINT (Swiss Armed Forces International Command) which is stationed at the Wil military training area in Stans-Oberdorf (NW).
The implementation of the armed forces’ ‘peace-keeping’ mission comprises amongst other things recruitment, logistic support, mission-specific training of personnel and national command during operations.

SELECTION PROCESS
PROFILES
Peace support personnel are deployed on one of Switzerland’s peace support missions abroad. Persons on these deployments are volunteers, who receive a salary and whose tour of duty is limited from six to twelve months.
In general, both men and women may participate in these missions provided:
- they fulfill the basic requirements (Swiss citizenship, driving license, etc) and
- they have the necessary expertise for the job according to the function-specific requirement profile.
EVENTS
SWISSINT’s marketing team travels through Switzerland in order to explain the various aspects of peace support to the Swiss people and provide potential candidates with detailed information.
If you have questions or simply wish to learn more about peace support and the opportunities it has to offer, meet us at one of our numerous public events, such as trade and employment fairs, universities, recruit school open days, and many more. We look forward to your visit!
