The Royal Netherlands Army will receive the new ‘Weapon of Information Maneuver’ on 20 November. This consists of two new forces: the ‘Intelligence and Security Corps Princess Alexia’ and the ‘Corps Communication and Engagement Princess Ariane’. With the new weapon, the army must operate on the basis of sufficient and correct information.
At the same time, the three existing tank regiments of the Cavalry are merged under the new name ‘Regiment Hussars Prinses Catharina-Amalia’.
According to Defense, the naming continues the long tradition of alliance between the armed forces and the Royal Family. In the names of regiments and corps the solidarity is more often expressed, but never before have three royal names been added at once.
