The logistics requirements of the Swiss Army are small compared to those of the U.S. Army. The Swiss Army is not designed for force projection, nor does it have a logistics system for overseas deployment. The primary modes of transportation for the Swiss Army are rail and highway. According to Swiss doctrine, rail is used when transporting supplies or equipment a distance of 150 kilometers or more. Swiss rail operations are relatively simple compared to American rail operations, especially when it comes to rail loads.
Vehicles simply drive onto the rail cars.
They are not tied down. The rear wheels are chock-blocked. For long trips, the rear wheels are blocked from three sides, and the blocks are nailed down. The last car in a train carrying Swiss equipment usually is a special car that can be converted to a mobile ramp. By doctrine, trains will not venture into hostile territory.
