🇨🇭The current Swiss Territorial Infantry Group. Switzerland's four Territorial Divisions are one part of their ground combat capacity, the other being the Swiss Army with its armoured maneuver formations. Territorial Divisions are broadly responsible for local defense and disaster response, tied to geographically defined territories.
⚔️ The group consists of 8 soldiers and are typically carried in an APC 93 (Mowag Piranha II 8x8) or Mowag Duro, which are manned by an additional 3 vehicle crew (commander, gunner, driver). Exact distribution of weapons varies based on unit preference, but the group is typically split into two Troops (one under the Group Leader and one under the Troop Leader).
⚔️ Key weapon systems include two FN Minimi LMGs, one or two 40mm underbarrel grenade launchers, one or two Panzerfaust 3s (to be supplemented by the MATADOR, which makes sense due to the Swiss' urban combat strategy), and one or two optics to create DMRs. Groups will also have one member trained in demolitions and breaching. An interesting aspect of the Swiss group is due to the limited time frames available for training their conscripts, there is a high degree of segmentation in specialisms. For example, a soldier trained on an LMG may not receive a qualification to operate the Panzerfaust 3.
⚔️ Another variation we've been told of and have seen photographic evidence for is giving the AT Rifleman the DMR and giving the UBGL to Riflemen. However, the allocation of the DMRs likely depends on who in the group is the best shot.

In a surprising turn of events, Switzerland has made a historic decision to permit the sale of decommissioned tanks to Germany, which will then be sent to Ukraine. This decision comes after Switzerland's military recently decided to phase out its aging fleet of tanks, leading to the availability of these tanks for sale. The move has been met with mixed reactions, with some questioning the ethics of selling military equipment to conflict zones, while others view it as a positive step towards supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. The decision also marks a significant shift in Switzerland's traditionally neutral stance in international conflicts.

Marissa Mayer: Google design
“Google has the functionality of a really complicated Swiss Army knife, but the home page is our way of approaching it closed. It’s simple, it’s elegant, you can slip it in your pocket, but it’s got the great doodad when you need it. A lot of our competitors are like a Swiss Army knife open – and that can be intimidating and occasionally harmful.”

The sunlight poured through the sheer curtains of Mountain’s room much too early for Swiss’s liking. It felt like an assault on his eyes, and he chuffed, burying his face into Mountain’s chest. It blocked out some of the offending brightness, but he was already awake, unable to see himself being able to go back to sleep.
He chuffed again and turned in Mountain’s arms, deciding to face away from the earth ghoul. Mountain pulled him slightly closer, causing Swiss to squirm in discontent.
“Good morning, Sunflower,” Mountain hummed, burying his nose in Swiss’s locks and inhaling the soft, cedarwood scent of the multi ghoul.
“Morning,” Swiss grunted, pushing back against Mountain.
“What’s wrong, love?”
“Too bright. Restless,” Swiss said, blunt. He typically got in moods when woken up earlier than he wanted, leaving whoever was with him with short, blunt replies.
“Do you want to get up? I can get you coffee while you shower,” Mountain suggested. His tone was soft and sweet, and his voice was still hoarse from just waking up. He felt Swiss’s shoulders relax, and he smiled.
“Don’t know,” Swiss frowned, finally turning to look at Mountain.
Mountain smiled again, brushing a braid out of Swiss’s face. “Should’ve reminded me to pull the black out curtains closed last night.”
“Didn’t wanna bug you.”
“But I don’t mind if you bug me, darling,” Mountain gently chided, pressing a kiss to Swiss’s lips. “Coffee or tea this morning?”
Swiss thought for a moment, debating his options. “Tea. Lemon.”
Mountain smiled and pressed a kiss to Swiss’s forehead, attempting to climb out of bed, only to be pulled closer by the multi ghoul.
“Stay,” he murmured, burying his face in Mountain’s chest.
Mountain couldn’t help the laugh that escaped his throat, causing Swiss to give him a gentle growl. Mountain wrapped his arms around Swiss. He could feel Swiss’s gentle breathing and small chuffs and rested his cheek on the top of his head. “I’ll always stay with you, Sunflower.”
