[edit] New Page

I believe this is the start of a great article, my goal is to make an useful article comprised of as much of the militairy information about and concerning the Dutch, Flemmings and their ancestors.I hope many will join me.

At the time, there are still great gaps.Yet, the article is already larger than for instance Military history of Germany.

The history of the Netherlands is worth to mentioned, and well documented.

I spot two obvious gaps that need to be filled: the Spanish Succession war and the battle of Quatre Bras Mvdleeuw 05:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Anyone know what units from the Netherlands are currently in Afghanistan? Chwyatt 15:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Acording to the Dutch army:

"De militairen van de Battle Group zijn voornamelijk afkomstig van 12 Infanterie Bataljon Luchtmobiel Air Assault Regiment Van Heutsz, aangevuld met militairen van 44 Pantserinfanteriebataljon Regiment Johan Willem Friso. Het PRT wordt geleverd door 42 Tankbataljon Regiment Huzaren Prins van Oranje.

Ter ondersteuning gaan zes Apache gevechtshelikopters mee naar Afghanistan. Daarnaast maken ook Cougar transporthelikopters en F-16 jachtvliegtuigen deel uit van het luchtmachtdetachement"

"The soldiers of the battle group are mostly from off the 12th Infanterie Bataljon Luchtmobiel Air Assault Regiment Van Heutsz suplemented with soldiers from 44 Pantserinfanteriebataljon (Mechanized infantry) Regiment Johan Willem Friso and tge 42th tank battalion Regiment Huzaren Prins van Oranje."
