Early life and education


Rebord was born on 22 April 1957, and he earned a Lic. Phil.-hist. at the University of Lausanne.[1]



Career


Rebord began his career in the Swiss Armed Forces in 1985.[2] He served in numerous positions, rising through the ranks of the Armed Forces.[1]


On September 16, 2016, after Chief of the Armed Forces André Blattmann announced his coming retirement, the Swiss government appointed Rebord to replace him.[2] Blattmann's formal retirement ceremony was held on 8 December 2016 and Rebord officially succeeded him on January 1, 2017.[3][4][5] That same day, Rebord was promoted to the rank of Korpskommandant.[3]


Soon after his appointment as Armed Forces Chief, Rebord made purchasing new fighter jets for the Swiss Air Force and ensuring that the Armed Forces continued having enough soldiers the priorities of the Armed Forces.[6] He also called for an increased military budget, arguing the current levels were insufficient.[7]
