Concentrating on our own Galaxy we discuss the dynamics of the outer halo, its magnetic structure and the occurrence of a supersonic mass loss in the form of a Galactic wind. The cosmic rays, as the nonthermal high energy component, de facto not influenced by gravity, play an essential role in the wind dynamics.
