The Dutch Army Commandos.
motto: "NUNC AUT NUNQUAM"

The distinctive Green Beret worn by the Dutch Army Commandos (Korps Commandotroepen) is a symbol of excellence and it takes a special kind of person to wear one. It takes someone who welcomes having his mental and physical capabilities tested to the limit and beyond, someone who doesn't think that "courage, honor, integrity and pride" are symply words, but a code by wich to live.

This is what it takes to wear the Green Beret of the Dutch Army Commando units.

To be eliglible, you must volunteer for airborne-training and meet other stringent prerequisites. If accepted, you'll train at the Engelbrecht van Nassau kazerne at Roosendaal in The Netherlands. The training is tough, but you'll learn special operations skills that will enable you to fight and survive anywhere in the world.
You'll also use your know-how to teach others to do the same. If you deserve the right to wear the Green Beret of the Dutch Army Commandos, foreign language-, jungle- and artic-training will follow.

The day you find yourself thundering through the night-sky toward the dropzone, daubed in camouflage, with two parachutes, field pack, ammunition, weapons and protective mask, you'll know it's now or never: "Nunc aut nunquam".

A Dutch Commando is a member of the most elite corps of the Dutch Army:

The Green Berets of the Dutch Army Commandos.
( Korps Commandotroepen )

Engelbrecht van Nassau kazerne at Roosendaal - the Netherlands

Being part of the Dutch Army Commandos and wearing the Green Beret is one of the proudest things in the Army.

To say: "Commando-training is rigorous" is no understatement. You'll experience some of the most physically demanding, emotionally exhausting and mentally challenging training, the Army has to offer.

As you can see, becoming a Dutch Commando isn't easy and for good reasons. You have to be prepared for just about anything, because you never know when you'll be airlifted at night for a parachute jump into a tropical jungle or onto a snow-covered plain.

As a Commando, you'll learn to survive and function under the most extreme conditions, you'll accept danger as a constant companion, you'll act as the eyes of the Army, probing deep into enemy territory on long-range reconnaissance missions.

Regardless of your destination, your mission will be the same: to establish a command post and handle any situation you might encounter.
