\n The Netherlands<\/span>
\n <\/u>
\n <\/b>\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n The Dutch are marginally prepared to operate in Europe but would require time to mobilize to get their units to full strength. <\/span> Dutch commandos work very closely with the British Royal Marine Commandos and are considered to be very good. <\/span> The Dutch army in 1980 consisted of 1 Corps of 3 Mechanized Infantry Divisions (1 Regular, 1 Reserve and 1 Mixed) plus Corps troops. <\/span> The peace dividend of the 1990s reduced the regular Dutch army to one mixed division. <\/span> This army tends to follow the German model, while commando units follow the British model.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
