Vatneleiren, Military heritage site in Sandnes Municipality, Norway.
The military complex contains barracks, storage facilities, and communication infrastructure spread across the grounds near Hanafjellet mountain in Rogaland county.
German forces constructed Vatneleiren during World War II as an artillery camp, which later transferred to Norwegian control after 1945.
The base represents Norwegian military traditions through its continuous service as headquarters for regional defense operations and training facilities.
The Norwegian Home Guard maintains active operations at Vatneleiren, with the Agder og Rogaland Heimevernsdistrikt 08 managing regional defense responsibilities.
The United Nations Logistics Officers Centre operates a specialized training facility within Vatneleiren for international military personnel.
