The Joint Warfare Establishment was a unit of the British Military based between 1963 and 1979 at a former RAF base at Old Sarum. A report in the Flying Review in 1963 notes that School of Land Air Warfare 'has been such a great success that it is soon to enlarge the scope of its activity by amalgamating with the Amphibious Warfare School, at Poole, Dorset, to become the Joint Warfare Establishment.[1] According to an unofficial RAF website the JWE was 'Formed 31 Mar 1963' and was 'Disbanded 22 Jul 1976.'[2]

It was the home of British psyops training from at least 1970. In March 1979, according to Roger Faligot, the JWE moved to Latimer, Buckinghamsire 'near the National Defence College'[3]
