[edit] Introduction

"Between 1918 and 1921, the Austrian semi-regular army was called Volkswehr ("People's Defence"), and fought against Slovenian indigenous inhabitants in Carinthia" This army wasn't even semi-regular. They were local militias in Carinthia. This should not stand here, it has nothing to do with the regular Austrian military. --Kl4Uz 13:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

The Austrian Military is regarded as one of the best trained in the world - that´s a very bold statement. I served in the austrian army in the 90's, and our training was poor. The only well trained units compared to other european countries armed forces are the air force, some special units and those units which serve abroad (on UN-missions etc.)
