	WHKMLA : History of the Netherlands - The Dutch Revolt, 1572-1609

	The Dutch East Indies Campaign 1941-1942

	African Soldiers' Mutinies
		The consolidation of Dutch rule also meant that the Dutch East Indies were shaped as a colonial society with a rigid social and racial stratification, with the inherent racial stereotypes underpinning white domination.
		As an instrument of colonial domination, the army itself was organized on racial and ethnic principles: Europeans were at the top of this racial hierarchy and the natives at the bottom, with an intermediate category of Amboinese, soldiers of privileged status from the Moluccan islands.
		Army headquarters reported to the colonial government the difficulties they had when dealing with the Africans and warned that it would require much patience and caution to obtain the desired results.

	Dutch Troops Revolt In Iraq?
		At least the Dutch still have military forces helping out there, as one-by-one other national contingents slip away (the Hungarians being the latest such).
		Dutch troops sent to Iraq get extra payments in two forms: 39 euros per day for what the article terms the "extra workload" - taxable - and 27 dollars (yes, US dollars) per day, untaxed, for expenses.
		Putting the problem into stark relief is the fact alleged several times in the article that Dutch troops actually earn more extra money going on training to Germany or Norway than they do being sent to the rather hostile current environs of Iraq.

	The Black Dutchmen
		Some background The shortage of manpower in the Dutch colonial army became particularly acute in the wake of the Java war (1825-1830) which took the lives of 8,000 European soldiers and many more native soldiers, and the secession of Belgium in 1830 which meant that the national reservoir for army recruitment had shrunk considerably.
		Army policy dictated however that roughly half the troops had to consist of Europeans, who were deemed more reliable and better qualified.
		Witnessing the frequent human sacrifices in Ashanti, the Dutch delegation was convinced that the Asantahene and his court controlled vast amounts of manpower, some of which could be made available to the Dutch army.

	COMMENTS
		The Dutch army was well-known for saying that they didn't worry about war because they knew the Americans would do all the work.
		Dutch frugal, penny-pinching capitalism was driven more by the Protestant theology of predestination, in which people long for a sign of election through being economically succesfull, then by imitation of entrepreneurial Jews.
		The dutch mercenaries (huurlingen) are of course stuck in mainly the same situation as for instance the americans are.

	Netherlands: Government resigns
		As was expected, the purple government has just fallen (16/04/02) over the report about 'Dutchbat', the Dutch army unit, and its operations in Srebrenica in 1997.
		The video footage of Dutch commander Karremans being cowed by Mladic, the gifts that Karremans accepted from Mladic ("for your wife at home") after the killings, and the scenes of soldiers partying later – all this provoked widespread anger and outrage.
		Dutch soldiers who reported the “surrender” to Mladic were gagged, and pictures taken by a Dutch soldier of the atrocities were “disposed of by accident”.

		The army had two principal options for purchase of additional vehicles: the M38A1 and the DAF YA 054 light terrain vehicle.
		The DAF was designed by the Dutch company of the same name, with the requirements of the Royal Army in mind, but may have lost the race simply because its price was a couple of hundred guilders higher than the M38A1's.
		After 1959 it was used as a weapons carrier equipped with the 106mm M40 recoilless rifle (in Dutch, "Terugstootloze Vuurmond" or TLV.) With the use of American part sets, 355 Nekafs were converted to M38A1C TLV carriers.

	theage.com.au - Dutch army 'whitewashed' role in Balkans massacre
		The 7000-page report found that the Dutch Government sent 200 ill-prepared troops on a "mission impossible" in the Balkans to defend the UN haven of Srebrenica in 1995.
		The report's most damning comments were reserved for the Dutch politicians, who sent 200 lightly armed troops "to keep the peace where there was no peace" without proper assurances of air support from the UN.
		Confirming reports that have tortured the Dutch conscience for the past seven years, the inquiry said that the Dutch contingent watched passively as Serb forces under the command of General Ratko Mladic - now under indictment by the war crimes tribunal - separated the men and boys as young as 10 from the women.

		Dutch troops, which until then had mostly been used as second line units guarding lines of communication, etc., now were thrust into the forefront and formed part of the Grande Armée of 1812.
		The factory was too small, however, to provide all the arms needed by the Dutch army, which also depended on the factories of Liege and others.

		The Germans are convinced that they have to work twice as hard as the Dutch because of the reductions in manpower on the German side and because of the extra workload arising from the 6th and 7th (GE) Division.
		The Dutch would prefer to share the total quantity of work: as ‘bi’ as possible, as national as necessary, is the Dutch motto.
		A Dutch officer said during the workshop: "A good command is one to which everyone responds." And in the RNLA reference is made to participatory leadership and management by walking around, which certainly is not common practice at all in the Bundeswehr.
