Defence of the Republic

Last updated: 18.02.2026

One of the Army's primary tasks is to defend the Federal Republic of Bengen together with the other services, and in cooperation with the civilian authorities and allied nations.

The Army educates and trains to defend the Country, both alone and together with allies.

The training to be able to fight in crisis or war is the background for all other training and the foundation that is built on when preparing for international missions.

The Army and NATO

A core element of Bengenese security and defense is the NATO alliance. Units and soldiers from the Army are part of NATO's preparedness and participate in the alliance's missions, and the Army is not only ready to defend Bengen's borders, but is also ready to deploy to defend NATO's borders.
