From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Joint Services School of Intelligence was the training centre for the Intelligence Corps of the British Army based at Templer Barracks in Ashford, Kent, United Kingdom, which provided training to all elements of the British Armed Forces, civilian authorities and international partners.[1] The JSSI was merged into the Defence Intelligence and Security School at Chicksands at Shefford, Bedfordshire in 1997, following the closure of Templer Barracks.
The Barracks have now been demolished with the exception of Repton Manor a Grade II listed building.
