The Dutch sent a infantry battalion from Regiment Van Heutsz, which was linked with the 38th Infantry Regiment. At this time, it was understrength by a Infantry company. The Dutch gained a very interesting reputation as being very difficult to work with by the American commanders, as they were unwilling to follow orders unless they approved of them. On the other hand, it was quickly noted that no battalion could hold a position as well as the Dutch could, so I suggest that they be given a high morale and rating, but given to commander who only does what he want to do and who likes to stay on the defensive.
