The army needs to do more to be ready for war, the Federal Audit Office has concluded in a report out this week.
Auditors say the army's plan to decentralise its logistics — spreading tanks, vehicles and medical supplies across more sites so they are harder to hit — is broadly on track, but underestimates how much it depends on civilian infrastructure.
In all, 144 measures have been ordered across supply, protection, medical services and infrastructure, to be in place by 2035.
Internal projections put the total bill at up to CHF 10 billion by 2040.
