NATO school Oberammergau

The NATO School Oberammergau (NSO), located in Oberammergau, Germany, was established in 1953 as the United States Army Special Weapons School. It soon evolved into a multinational training center, and by 1975, it was officially designated as the NATO School, reflecting its expanded mission to provide education on NATO strategy, policy, and operations. Over the decades, the school has trained thousands of military and civilian personnel from NATO member and partner nations in a wide range of security and defense topics. Today, NSO stands as NATO’s premier institution for individual education and training, supporting alliance interoperability and cooperation through its diverse course offerings.
