Forward-Deployed Element
The
somewhat elaborately named Command of Netherlands Troops in Seedorf,
Hohne, Langemannshof was basically a Dutch garrison command in West
Germany. It was part of
and provided the military infrastructure for the
forward-deployed element of 1
(NL) Corps, which further comprised 103 Reconnaissance Battalion, 41 Armoured Brigade and 41 Engineer Battalion.
The
command was held by Commander, 41 Armoured Brigade. In addition to
their normal duties the staff and staff detachment would support the
commander in his relations with German authorities. As can be
gathered
from the difference in peace and wartime strengths, the
command was
primarily a peacetime organisation.1
On
mobilisation the aforementioned units would deploy
towards
the Inner German Border to cover the approach march of the rest of 1
(NL) Corps from the Netherlands. See 1 (NL) Corps, Maldeployment
and 41 Armoured Brigade, Operational Role: The Corps Covering Force.
The table below summarises the locations and personnel strengths of the
forward-deployed element:
