Information about Austrian Military strength and army structure.

Austria is a country located in the Central European region of Europe. The Austrian Federal Army (Bundesheer) is the main organization that forms the country's military force. This army is an armed force based on the Austrian Constitution and established in 1955. The Austrian Federal Army consists of three main components: Land Forces (Landstreitkräfte), Air Force (Luftstreitkräfte) and Special Forces (Spezialeinsatzkräfte). The Land Forces have the task of ensuring security on the country's territory and borders. The Air Force performs missions such as air defense, air transportation, and air raid prevention, while Special Forces perform tasks such as special operations and counterterrorism. The number of soldiers of the Austrian Federal Army is approximately 23,000. However, in case of emergency, the number of troops can be increased rapidly. Austria has compulsory military service, and its male citizens are required to be called up for military service until a certain age. However, since 2006, the period of compulsory military service has been reduced and a transition to a professional army has been made. Austria's military force, despite being a neutral country, participates in international peace operations and NATO partnership. In addition, the Austrian Federal Army has made military cooperation agreements with other countries and carries out activities such as training and personnel exchange within this framework. The structure and tasks of the Austrian Federal Army are constantly updated and changing. These changes are carried out depending on the country's defense policies and developments in the international security environment.
