Headline: Disaster relief abroad: Federal Council wants to provide quick and uncomplicated help

If the Swiss army can provide assistance in the event of a catastrophe abroad, in the future the head of the VBS is to approve smaller, urgent operations of the army himself at the request of the DFA itself. The Gesamtbundesrat only needs to approve larger or politically sensitive missions. This will help Switzerland more quickly. This was decided by the Federal Council at its meeting of 28 September 2018.
