- Huseby Leir
Huseby Leir is the base of the Norwegian "
Hans Majestet Kongens Garde " (HMKG) (lit., "His Majesty The King's Guard").Huseby Leir is located on the oldOslo farm, "Nordre Huseby gård", which was acquired by the Norwegian government in the late 1800s.It is a modern base, but has decayed because of construction errors which lead to mold and damp damage in walls and roofs. From 2002 to 2005 the base underwent a total renovation. Huseby Leir is a very special base in military terms, since it is constructed in two levels. Offices and barracks are located on ground level. The upper "0-level" features the drill yard for all companies, a crew dining hall, an armoury, an indoor shooting range, a sport hall, a clothes depot, a sew parlour, a gas station, and parking places for military vehicles.
