Also, from the same site, for a billet in Norway:

Passports

Although the service member technically does not need to have a passport to arrive here, they will need one to obtain a Norwegian bank account as well as to go on leave and return. They should buy a tourist passport. If you are going to be assigned to a NATO billet, please contact your sponsor as you may be required to obtain an official passport in support of your official duties. Family members should obtain tourist passports for personal travel in addition to their “Official No-Fee Passport”.

This requirement was always written into my orders.
