Supply with maps
In order to supply the armed forces with sufficient maps, swisstopo has a stockpile for lending. It is based on Regulation 51.024 (Organisation of Military Training).
For their services the units order the maps they require from the Armed Forces Logistics Organisation (AFLO). The latter checks the orders and passes these on to swisstopo for processing. All orders are made with form 21.010-1.
For planning and preparations career officers, career NCOs, commanders, General Staff officers, aviation personnel and parascouts are given a personal set of maps.
Purchase of maps at reduced prices during military service
In order to promote map reading training, military personnel are able to buy national maps at reduced prices when on duty. The respective documents are sent directly to the unit concerned. The accounting officer collects the orders and sends them to swisstopo (by post, fax or e-mail) one week before the personnel are dismissed from duty, so that the maps can be delivered and invoiced in good time.
