Commando-overdracht Commandant Zeestrijdkrachten | Koninklijke Marine

"Freedom and security are under great pressure; unfortunately, war is no longer unthinkable." With this clear message, Vice Admiral Harold Liebregs begins his new role as Commander of the Navy. He takes over from Vice Admiral René Tas. What will the Navy do in these difficult times? Liebregs has a clear plan with concrete goals to increase its striking power at sea: 🔹The battle plans are in order and are being realistically rehearsed. 🔹We are always ready. Three-quarters of our ships and marines are ready for deployment, for NATO and national defense. 🔹The Navy will use modern technology, with a mix of manned and unmanned systems. 🔹The organization will grow to 20,000 colleagues: military personnel, reservists, and civilians. According to the new commander, it's ultimately not just about plans and equipment. The most important thing is the people themselves. He says: "The success of our navy is determined by the solidarity, courage, trust, and professionalism of all of us. As one team." ⚓ Subscribe to never miss a thing ⇨ https://bit.ly/KoninklijkeMarine_abon... ⚓ The Royal Netherlands Navy, with its fleet and marines, is committed to safety at sea and beyond.
