The DDPS is divided into seven sectors that report directly to the Head of the DDPS: the Defence sector and six federal offices: General Secretariat, Federal Intelligence Service, armament agency (armasuisse), national topography office (swisstopo), Civil Protection and Sports.



The Office of the Armed Forces Attorney General is also an administrative unit of the DDPS. It is the service provider of the military tribunal systems and creates the conditions from which the military prosecutions authorities and military tribunals of all instances, which are independent of both armed forces leadership and Government in every respect, can competently fulfil their statutory duties.
