Switzerland Army MALs (Wasteland Europe)

The Switzerland Mountain, Air, and Land (MAL) squads is an elite group of soldiers serving the country of Switzerland. They are trained for a number of different missions, including reconaisince, fighting, hostage situations, survival situations, unconventional warfare, and other missions. All members must have served in the armed forces before and be able to climb mountains.

History
The history of the MALs can be traced back to the end of World War 2. The US decided not to use the Marshall Plan and decided to focus on the Pacific. Europe was a destroyed landmass with nobody protecting it. This left it open for Soviet takeover. The USSR expanded into Europe, going as far as the OTL Berlin Wall. Switzerland did not want to under the foot of the Soviets and trained its army and prepared it for war if it should break out. The Swiss created the Army MALs in 1956, designing to take on the Soviets. The commander of the MALs, Henri Guisan, who led the Swiss Military in World War 2, knew the Soviets had to pass the mountains to get in Switzerland. He had the MALs train for mountain warfare, guerilla warfare, and unconventional warfare. He also knew if Switzerland was taken over the MALs would perform guerilla warfare against the Soviet invaders. He had the MALs build bases in the mountains, which would train their strength. These underground bases, also known as the Guisan Tunnels, stretch apart some of the border with Germany.
