Notes on the Dutch Order of Battle
- The Dutch Army is organised in a very similar way to the British model, as are the Belgians.
- In 1960, they are on the very of a major update in equipment: replacing their older APCs with a modern vehicle, the Centurions with Chieftains, the 105mm self propelled howitzers with a newer 6" SPH and incorporating modern anti-aircraft and anti-tank missile systems at brigade level. There is a frontline requirement for 1640 MBTs.
- The 7e Luchtlandingsdivisie and 8e Lichte Infanteriedivisie are strategic reserve elements for operations in the DEI, Africa (in conjunction with the Belgians...) or on the northern and southern flanks of Europe; it is notable that the African operations never eventuate
- The Territorial Army is designated as a home defence force, but moves are afoot to harden and mechanise the four divisions so they can reinforce and support the 1st and 2nd Dutch Korps in the field, whilst the number of home defence battalions would be increased.
- The Koninklijke Marine is in something of a similar state of flux and development. Their destroyers and frigates are quite new and will be progressively updated with SAMs in the 1960s, whilst the cruisers will carry longer range SAMs and SSMs. Their two fleet carriers are large, excellent ships with air groups of 80 modern fighters
- The Home Fleet fields a strong carrier battlegroup with battleship and battlecruiser support for joint operations with the British or other allies.
- Consideration is being given to raising the operational strength of the Koninklijk Nederlands Korps Mariniers to support a full strength division at home and a brigade in the Far East, but this would be quite expensive.
- The Fokker Degen is a Mach 1.9 twin engine air superiority jet fighter and the Krijgshamer is a twin engine supersonic strike bomber with a combat radius of 1000km/625 miles.
- Development of a single engine fighter-bomber is underway with Belgian cooperation, which will replace the six squadrons of Hunters under current plans.
- Replacement of the Fairey Delta with a high performance single engine fighter is the next priority.
- Acquisition of long range transports such as the HS.681 will allow more than a single airborne brigade to be moved at any one time.
Notes on the Belgian Order of Battle
- Even in 1960, they are already operating very closely in conjunction with the Dutch
- Together, their four corps make for a decent enough field army
- They have a similar need for new equipment in the decade to come, on land, sea and air (albeit their naval needs are quite minimal)
- Upon the eventual independence of the Belgian Congo, there is a sharp shift to European operations, quite naturally
- The 6eme Division Paracommando, the Dutch 7e Luchtlandingsdivisie and the Luxembourg Division have a wartime mission to reinforce Denmark
- That leaves a strategic reserve of 1 regular infantry division each, plus the Dutch Korps Commandotroepen Brigade and the Dutch Marines. Belgium is thus interested in forming a new brigade sized unit of commando type forces to carry their weight

Re: Dark Earth Orders of Battle
They had 592 Centurions in @, plus 50 M24s.
In 1989, the 5e Divisie had 244 Leopard 1 and 2s, the 4e Divisie a similar number and the 1e Divisie ~ 228 tanks for 700+ MBTs.
The DE Dutch numbers come from that extra corps.
By the by, the Belgians had 784 M47s in that same era, but went for Centurions in DE. Once again, their numbers differ on account of the extra corps that they field, on account of a larger economy, population and general military size.

Re: Dark Earth Orders of Battle
Notes on the Norwegian Order of Battle
- Quite a lot of Norwegian Army equipment comes from Britain
- Like some other NATO states, they will be looking for a replacement of a number of systems through the 1960s and expansion of others. Their specific needs are for AA missiles and gun systems, tanks, APCs/AFVs, modern artillery, missiles, rocket launchers, support vehicles, ATGMs, tank destroyers, AShMs, modern anti tank guns, anti-tank mines, helicopters and more
- These will come from Britain, Sweden and the USA
- The RNoAF in particular will be looking for new high performance fighters; the RNoN wants a lot of torpedo boats, corvettes and modern frigates/destroyers
- Norway’s brigade in Germany is positioned to aid in the defence of Southern Denmark in conjunction with the Danish Brigade in Germany, German troops, an Anglo-Canadian force, an unspecified U.S. division and Royal Marines
- Holding the North needs a whole lot more than 2nd Norwegian Corps + 1 reserve division + Home Guard units, which is where the USA, Canada and Britain come into planning

Re: Dark Earth Orders of Battle
Nice work!
A bit of a nitpick.
In the Norwegian OoB, it states that there are 12 submarines, but only 8 are named.

Re: Dark Earth Orders of Battle
Thank you kindly.
For some reason, the last four Kobbens didn't copy across, so Sklinna, Skolpen, Stord and Svenner are now where they should be.
