message: Hi there, I have recently found this document (here at page 10 and 11); and it seem that the rank of Stafadjutant is no longer in use, so the Templates on en.wiki, fr.wiki and nl.wiki about the NATO STANAG ranks comparisons need to be updated on their OR-8 and OR-9. Thank you in advance! --82.55.70.212 (talk) 14:50, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi, the Dutch West Indies islands of Aruba, Curacao, and St. Maartin also have locally recruited volunteer defense forces called Vrijwilligers Korps/Volunteer Corps. They fall under the command of the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps and judging from their websites it looks like they use the same ranks and rank insignia as the marines. The Dutch West Indies also has a Coast Guard but that is under the control of, and part of the Royal Netherlands Navy. 24.46.236.67 (talk) 21:43, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The Dutch King hasn't been the Commander in Chief since constitutional revisions in 1983. Article 97.2 says the Dutch Government has Supreme Authority over the Armed Forces. of which the Chief of Defense exercises on behalf. The King was given special insignias to wear on his uniforms as King. those insignia's aren't ranks or titles of office. CharlesViBritannia (talk) 19:28, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed - in the Netherlands the ceremonial head of state is indeed that, ceremonial, the government (as a board of ministers) is collectively the commander in chief. I changed the erroneous text. Arnoutf (talk) 16:33, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
