Army station near Oldebroek
Artillery shooting camp at't Harde dates from the 19th century. It is a training ground for artillery weapons of the Dutch armed forces.
In the second half of the 19th century, a new shooting range was constructed on the heathland near Oldebroek where the artillery could practice. The problem with the existing shooting ranges was that they became too short for modern weapons. On behalf of the then Minister of War, a new site was therefore sought, which had to be centrally located and easily accessible by both road and water. In 1875 the necessary land was purchased by the ministry. In 1877, the Fortress Artillery Regiment was allowed to fire its first shots. From 1878, the Artillery Shooting School (ASS) from Zwolle was responsible for the training, which has since taken place annually from May 1 to November 1.
In the beginning the soldiers slept in tents, later three wooden barracks were added. Then stone buildings were added and it gradually grew into the Army site at Oldebroek.
Nowadays, infantry mortar units also practice at the ASK.
