3,000 soldiers for NATO force
The Netherlands is to contribute 3,100 soldiers to NATO’s rapid reaction force in 2008, the defence ministry told parliament on Monday evening. The Netherlands, which normally has 500 troops on standby for the force, will share joint command of one of the force’s six headquarters together with Germany next year.
