This is an integral part of working in the officer’s profession in the Defence Forces and Border Guard. To become an officer, you study and train at the National Defence University, which is a unit within the Defence Forces and at the same time one of Finland’s fifteen universi- ties. By completing the Bachelor of Military Sciences at the National Defence University, you graduate to the officer’s profession. After the working phase, stud- ies continue towards the Master of Military Sciences degree, after which the officer’s career continues in different national and international tasks. The officer’s career encompasses the model of life-long learning, where you grow with your task producing security for Finnish society. The studies and requirements are based on the needs of the profession. They combine studies that fulfil university-level requirements and learning practical military skills. The teaching methods are varied and modern. A good example of this is high quality exer- cises in the right kind of operational environment. All who graduate as officers form a strong sense of soli- darity, which creates a life-long bond with the officer generation and, in addition to professional qualifica- tion, also a strong psychological foundation on which to prepare for future challenges. I encourage everyone who is interested and who meets the entrance requirements, to apply to study in the National Defence University. All who study to become an officer graduate to a fine profession and are offered a versatile and progressive workplace.

Military applications emerged fairly early in the infancy of aviation, in the form of first trials to establish the superiority of the third dimension over the battlefield. Well- known examples include the balloon reconnaissance efforts made in France even before the birth of the aircraft, and it was not long before the first generation of flimsy, underpowered aircraft were being tested in a military environment. The Italians used aircraft for reconnaissance missions at Tripoli in 1910-1912, and the Americans made their first attempts at taking air power to sea as early as 1910-1911.

    Finnish Air Force Aircraft Fact Sheet Boeing F/A-18C and F/A-18D Hornet The Boeing F/A-18C and F/A-18D Hornet are twin-engined multi-role fighters manufactured in the United States. Most of Finland's Hornet fleet is divided between Lapland Air Command (Fighter Squadron 11) and Karelia Air Command (Fighter Squadron 31) to form the backbone of the Air Force's combat capability. Carrying the military designation HN, they are flown on peacetime training and air policing missions. In a time of crisis, the Hornets are set to execute defensive counterair operations to protect the nation's vital assets, civilian population, and operations conducted by all services against air attacks. The aircraft will also be tasked to support joint operations with long-range standoff weapons. The wide range of modern weapons the aircraft can carry combined with its sensor suite and data link systems enables beyond and within visual range engagements under all weather and lighting conditions either by a single aircraft or by packages in seamless cooperation with surface-based air defense units and other air defense assets. In the event of crisis, Hornets can be deployed to operate from dispersed highway strips. 1 Finnish Air Force Aircraft Fact Sheet The Finnish Air Force F/A-18 fleet has undergone an extensive mid-life upgrade program. The first phase, designated MLU 1, was aimed at maintaining and improving the aircraft's air-to-air capability and was completed in 2006–10. The aircraft were fitted with provisions for a helmet-mounted sighting system for better close-range combat capability and the new AIM-9X version of the infra-red guided Sidewinder missile.
