Norway's Minister of Defense: The Establishment of the NATO Air Operations Centre Is on Track Bodø, Northern Norway (High North News): The temporary premises of NATO's third Combined Air Operations Center will be ready at the Armed Forces' base in Bodø already in October. Norwegian Defense Minister Tore O. Sandvik commends the progress.
"The Important Thing is that the Allied Air Operations Center is Actually Placed in Norway” Several regional NATO headquarters responsible for military operations are to be established in the Nordic countries. "In Norway, the debate about the regional air headquarter has revolved around its location. We have seen too little of what this entails in a comprehensively Nordic and allied framework," says Professor Håkon Lunde Saxi at the Norwegian Defence Command and Staff College.
