National defence and military service

Defending the nation has always been an important duty of the Finnish Border Guard, performed in cooperation with the Finnish Defence Forces. Border control – patrolling the land and sea borders – also involves monitoring our territorial integrity. 
The Finnish Border Guard trains conscripts.
