Bodø Proposed as Permanent Location for NATO's Air Operations Centre

The Norwegian government has decided to offer the Armed Forces' base in Bodø as a permanent site for NATO's Combined Air Operations Centre, which strengthens NATO's presence in the north and offers cost-effective advantages according to Defence Minister Tore O. Sandvik. CAOC Bodø, which already functions as a regional headquarters for air operations, is now proposed to become a permanent solution for leading and monitoring allied air forces in the Northern Areas.
