The central purpose of VBS is to provide " security and movement " for Switzerland and its population. Army, civil protection and civil institutions operate on the principle of "security through cooperation" closely. They protect and help at home and abroad. The promotion of peace is an important contribution to international security and thus also to the safety of Switzerland. With the Federal Office of Sports, the Department promotes sport and physical activity at the national level and thus contributes to the health of the population.

At the beginning of the state of the department was called simply " Military Department ". In 1979 it was renamed " Federal Military Department " (EMD ). With the integration of the civil defense and the promotion of sports in the department since 1998, it bears the name " Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sports ."
