Cleaning up military shooting ranges

The Swiss armed forces have always been organised as a conscript sys-tem, acting as a deterrent through their constant combat readiness. To ensure this readiness, since the beginning of the 20th century the armed forces have systematically invested in standardised weaponry and have built over 900 shooting ranges.
After two world wars and the 40 years of the Cold War, the threat situation has changed. Manpower has been reduced over the years, and only a small number of the original shooting ranges is now required. Now the authorities are inspecting all unused shooting ranges for environmental pollution, and will remediate them if necessary.
