There is a threat of a shortage of commandos: only fourteen reached the finish line this year

There is a threat of a shortage of new commandos in the Netherlands. This year only fourteen were added, while according to Defense, forty new people are needed every year. “Insufficient,” says commander Huub Smeets. State Secretary of Defense Gijs Tuinman, himself a former commando, also expresses his concerns. “We need double that.”
