Being trained and equipped for cold weather operations makes adverse climate conditions a strong alley. Being unprepared will significantly reduce our combat effectiveness, and may ultimately lead to defeat. Centre of excellence is a part of the Norwegian Armed Forces.
The Centre of Excellence for Cold Weather Operations (COE-CWO) has been prepared to accommodate a variety of requirements, from individual training to unit level training, certification, courses, seminars, literature or advice. A programme tailored to your requirements will be developed in close cooperation with your planners.
The Centre will conduct its own research in support of the Alliance’s transformation effort and is prepared to support Concept Development and Experimentation (CDE) initiatives from our allies or partners.The COE-CWO is a concept that encompasses training areas, infrastructure, manpower and knowledge drawn from all four services in the Norwegian Armed Forces (Air Force, Army, Navy and Home Guard).
