AFSOUTH Headquarters

AFSOUTH, or Allied Forces Southern Europe, was a NATO command responsible for military operations in southern Europe, particularly during the Cold War era. Its headquarters was located in Naples, Italy, and it coordinated military strategies and activities among NATO member countries in the region. AFSOUTH played a crucial role in ensuring collective defense, maintaining peace, and responding to potential threats in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. While its operational focus has evolved over time, AFSOUTH remains significant for fostering cooperation and stability among allied nations in this strategic area.
