Dutch Order of Battle

Thanks to Henk Stoffers for this Order of Battle. Users should be aware that there may be some spelling errors in the translation.)

These are the actual combat brigades that form the 1st division. The division has many other logistic and supportunits. I only have to find out what all the abbreviations mean. I have everything from a major from an HQ unit. I have forgotten a lot.

Author's Note:

Most units and weapons are in the tacops weapons base.
You run into trouble with the infantry squads though.
There are 7 men with an mg and an at weapon.You can choose both squadweapons as
teams of 2 man. than there are 3 riflemen left.there is no way to solve that it
is 1 man to many or one short.
The same goes for the vehicle ,I use to choose the NZ/AU- m-113 with 25mm
this vehicle is similar in performance and weapons but fields 6 men as the
bradley and other afv's. -- Henk.
