HistoryEdit
Already before WWII existed various connections between the reserve officer corps of Belgium, France and the Netherlands, which started working together again in 1946, after the war. Those connections led to the first Congress event and the formal establishment of the „Interallied Confederation of Reserve Officers“ (CIOR) November 20, 1948 in Brussels. Step-by-step the countries of Luxembourg (1952), Denmark (1956), Greece (1956), United States (1958), Italy (1960), Germany (1961), Great Britain (1963), Canada (1964), Norway (1966) and Spain (1992) also joined in.
CISOR was founded as Association Européenne des Sous-Officiers de Réserve (AESOR). That happened at the French Navy base of Toulon on June 1, 1963 and was following an initiative of the Fédération Nationale des Associations des Sous-Officiers de Réserve (FNASOR). The ratification of the different charters was made by the representatives of the NCO corpsmen of Belgium, Luxembourg, The Federal Republik of Germany, Switzerland and France.
