The Norwegian Army Academy (Norwegian: Krigsskolen) was established in 1750. It is the oldest university-level educational institution in Norway, and one of the oldest active military academies in the world. Krigsskolen primarily educates officers for the Norwegian Army. There are separate academies for the Royal Norwegian Navy and the Royal Norwegian Air Force.
Famous quotes containing the words military and/or academy:
“The military mind is indeed a menace. Old-fashioned futurity that sees only men fighting and dying in smoke and fire; hears nothing more civilized than a cannonade; scents nothing but the stink of battle-wounds and blood.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
