Joining forces

Whether private or admiral, every soldier in the Navy's operational service has attended the Naval Operations School at some point in their career. A look at current training and future challenges.

The Naval Operations School (MOS) is part of a long naval tradition in the maritime city of Bremerhaven. This bond has also survived the many twists and turns of history unscathed. Originally built on the site of the Tecklenborg shipyard, the technical school has evolved over time into the German Navy's central facility for operational and tactical training. The MOS has existed under its current name since 1997 and has developed from the naval tactical training group into the alma mater of the operators through the integration of the telecommunications school and the weapons school as well as the establishment of the naval tactics centre (TZM).
