Abstract
The Netherlands is a relatively small country with a small defence industry, and a defence policy aligned to NATO doctrine and strategy. The Dutch armed forces are today undergoing a substantial post-Cold War reorganisation, which affects the Army in particular. During the period 1991-2000, the Dutch Army is facing a 54% reduction to 36,000 personnel (including 10,700 civilians). The Air Force will number 13,000 personnel and the Navy 17,500 in the year 2000, both being reductions of 25% from the 1991 level. These changes are accompanied by a reduction in matériel acquisitions and a shift in defence equipment needs.
