The Joint Service Defence College (JSDC) was a training academy for British military personnel from 1983 to 1997. It has since been amalgamated into the Joint Services Command and Staff College.
History
The college was established as the Combined Staff College (CSC) in 1947.[1] The college was an independent Ministry of Defence Establishment offering courses to officers of all three services.[1] It was based at Latimer House in Latimer, Buckinghamshire.[2] It was renamed the National Defence College (NDC) in 1971. On 12 February 1974, the IRA detonated a bomb at the NDC; there were no fatalities.[3] In 1983 CSC was renamed the Joint Service Defence College (JSDC), and moved to the Royal Naval College, Greenwich.[1] The college was closed in 1997 and amalgamated into the new Joint Services Command and Staff College.[1]
