108th Korps Commando Troepen BBE

The BBE is somewhat a part of the Dutch Marine Corps and exists mainly of Marines, but also of Green Berets. Note: The words on the emblem read "SEMPER PARATUS PRO JUSTITIA" (Always Ready For Justice)

 

7NL Special Boat Squadron (Naval Commandos)

7NL Special Boat Squadron

Reader input: 

We are indeed part of UK SBS as the 7th troop of C-sqn
We do not have dedicated groups in the unit for boating, diving etc as is misstated on the page.

We are a unit of 5 times 4 pax teams; and a staff of 6 (two officers) (so a total of 26)
3 teams are dedicated to C-sqn 2 to M-sqn

Apart from that the NL have 3 sf coy's

1 = army KCT (108)
1 = LAVERCIE (consisting of 7 tp SBS and Moutain recce tp)
1 = BBE (mainly CT)

As for weapons:
We do not use the browning and FAL anymore (for quite some time) but C-7, C-8, Steyr, MAG, .50 and Glock

MP-5 is used by BBE not (or hardly) by us.
