11 AMB:

13 light brigade

43 mech brigade

 

 

[Need formation info on the Canuckians, Germs & Hollish]

Dutch army only has brigades, namely:

11 airmobile brigade

    11 Infanteriebataljon (Air Assault) Garde Grenadiers en Jagers;

    12 Infanteriebataljon (Air Assault) Regiment Van Heutsz;

    13 Infanteriebataljon (Air Assault) Regiment Stoottroepen Prins Bernhard.

    11 Brigade verkennings eskadron (Recon company)

 

    11 Genie Compagnie (Engineer)

     Pathfinderplatoon

each battalion has 3 infantry company's

each company has:

• a staff group;
• 3 infantry platoons;
• a mortar group;
• an SLA group (marksmen);
• a Fire Support Team
• a maintenance group;
• 2 medical discharge groups;
• a supply group;
• an administrator.

Every airmobile infantry battalion now also has a patrol company with scouts with "heavy" weapons like gill, 50 cal, and mag machine guns. These are mounted on Mercedes Benz softtops. They are the 'Delta compagnie'

13 light brigade

This is the brigade that is portrayed in CMSF2 right now. However in 2014 they switched from a mechanized to a light brigade, currently operating Boxer APC's, Bushmasters and Mercedes Benz CDI's.

It would make more sense to let the 'light infantry company' in CMSF2 be a part of the 13th brigade and the other dutch mech, tank and manoeuvre battalions be a part of the 43 Mechanized Brigade

13 light consists of:

     17 Pantserinfanteriebataljon Garderegiment Fuseliers Prinses Irene;

     42 Pantserinfanteriebataljon Limburgse Jagers;

     42 Brigadeverkenningseskadron Huzaren van Boreel;

     41 Pantsergeniebataljon;

 

43 mechanized brigade

They are the heaviest brigade and the most capable of fighting major war.

     44 Pantserinfanteriebataljon Johan Willem Friso;

     45 Pantserinfanteriebataljon Oranje Gelderland;

     43 Brigadeverkenningseskadron Huzaren van Boreel;

     11 Pantsergeniebataljon;

     414 Tank Battalion; (mixed german and dutch battalion, the Dutch currently lease one company of Leopard 2A6s)

In a mechanized batallion not every company has their own mortargroup and AT-capability anymore. These are bundled in the 'Delta Company', the recon and heavy weapons company.

However, i don't know if this is also the case in the light brigade

 

Artillery is part of the Vuursteuncommando (firesupport commando) and can be spread out over the different brigades.

The artillery unit is called 41 Afdeling Artillerie (we don't have 11 Rijdende Artillery anymore, however it's legacy is carried on by the Staf Batterij and the Charlie battery (120mm mortars)

The units of 41 afdeling are as follows:

Staff battery

A battery (8xPzh2000)

B battery (8xPzh2000)

C batterij (8x120mm mortars)

Furthermore the Fire support Teams are a part of every company in a battalion.

 

[Problems installing CMSF2 + NATO bundle]

When the installation is finished and CMSF2 was started, in the QB i could choose antiarmor, or italian army or some other weird stuff, but not dutch, german, canadian, US and so on. When i launch a scenario, units are not shown and have weird names and Italian weapons. Also the start screen says 'Demo' What went wrong and how can I fix this?

 

[Hey Battlefront where's the Spec Ops Units?]

What about every nation a SOF unit, so for example:

US army: 75th Ranger reg

USMC: Marine Raider reg

UK: SAS

Canadian: JTF2

German: KSK

Dutch: KCT

Syria: syrian special mission forces

Great to hear that! The guy on the right in the first photo is wearing the desert variant. The vest and backpack are a mix between the two, like this:

Hi Oleksandr,

Ever thought about making a mod with the Netherlands Fractal Pattern (nfp)? 

Would be a great extra for the Dutch forces in Shock Force 2

Great video! Thanks again for accepting my request.

When the reworked NATO campaign is released I will definitely buy CMSF2 to give it a shot myself.

There is a lot of discussion here about 'Stingers for the Brits', but what about stingers for the Dutch? they use them also IRL, so why not give them ingame?

nice! was waiting for something like that!

What I found on the Internet about the stamp is that the Diemaco indeed has a maple leaf and the Colt version has this sign on the art. In CMSF1 the dutch assault rifles were completely black without the (newer) sandcoloured accessoires. Are the handguard and buttstock in still black in CMSF2? Or is it the newer two-coloured variant? 

[Shock Force 2 Unofficial Screenshot And Video Thread]

Nice! What about personal weaponry? Do the dutch in game still use Diemaco c7/c8 instead of Colt c7/c8 with the sandcoloured accessoires?

[Shock Force 2 Unofficial Screenshot And Video Thread]

Wow! Indeed a really neat and realistic CV!

[Dutch forces information]

Good afternoon everyone,

After playing the demo of CMSF2 I am thinking about purchasing the game. However, apart from the TO&E, I can't find any information, video's, gameplays or AAR's about my main country of interest, The Netherlands. I really like the game from what I have seen so far, but it would be great to see some actual footage of Dutch forces in action from the original CMSF.

Thanks in advance for the help!
