The Dutch brigade could be deployed anywhere in the world within 20 days. On US Air-mobility assets...

The Dutch brigade could be deployed anywhere in the world within 20 days. Might want more prep time if they plan to drop into Texas ...

Not the first time that has happened:

This will make the Schlieffen Plan v2.0 much easier.

Re: “Might want more prep time if they plan to drop into Texas.”
I dunno.
11.5 million illegal immigrants might welcome them as Liberators.

“...corps is a high-readiness land force designed to be able to deploy within 20 to 30 days.”
Not having any military background or logistics experience, I have a question: is 20-30 days really that quick? Just asking.

Yes. He said, having done deployments before. In theory, we got 22 hours to show up for bag drag and line up for chalks.
In practice... We showed up for bag drag, lots got culled, some got cut, and we lined up for chalks.
Logistics is the hardest part of military science.

To have total logistics setup, yes. For rapid response units, no.

I doubt your average German or Dutch soldier has much interest in dropping anywhere in America — I imagine their superiors would have a hard time making them.

I only feel sorry for the Dutch old enough to understand why this is an affront.

“Charlemagne” was drawn from French SS volunteers. The units you are thinking of are the 23rd SS division (”Nederland”) and the 34th SS division (”Landsturm Nederland”).

Thanks, sir, but can you ‘translate’ that for a simple civilian?

When you say total logistics set-up, does that mean tanks, trucks, artillery, supplies etc? Or just quick-response paratroopers going into a ‘hot spot’ for a rescue or for a longer deployment?
Rapid reaction. High readiness. Quick response. 3 different kinds of SF troops?
I know, I know; too many questions. If it is, say so and I’ll spend some time on Google trying to find some answers.

K0GRL could do rapid response.

If you bother me, you will know. You will need a fire extinguisher for your hair.
Asking questions is not only allowed, it is encouraged.
I would have answered earlier but my neighbor is trying to kill a vole in her flowerbed, and I was helping to hide the propane.
