abstract
| - The 11 Luchtmobiele Brigade, or 11 Air Manoeuvre Brigade is a rapid and light infantry unit within the Dutch forces and can be deployed anywhere on the globe within five to twenty days to defend its own or allied territory, protect the international rule of law and support law enforcement, disaster relief and humanitarian aid. Deployment can be as part of NATO, United Nations or WEU (West European Union). When the Air Mobile Brigade, an Army brigade, operates integrated with the Dutch Defence Helicopter Command, an Airforce command, they form the '11 Air Manoeuvre Brigade' (11 AMB). Helicopters from the Defence Helicopter Command support 11 Air Manoeuvre Brigade with troopstransport and the transport of weapons and materials. Attack helicopters are used to do reconnaissance, give air support and give top cover for infantry on the ground. When helicopters are used in combination with infantry as parts of an offensive operation it is called an 'Air assault' operation. When troopcarrier helicopters are just used to bring infantry from A to B it is called an 'Air mobile' operation. With attackhelicopters performing on their own it is called an 'Air mechanized' operation. When paratroopers are deployed it is called an 'Airborne' operation. The brigade is also able to operate 'Motorized' with heavily armed light armored vehicles. Specially trained units are also able to assist Special Forces as a 'Special Operations Task Group' (SOTG). In 2003 in Poland (exercise Gainful Sword) and in 2012 in the Netherlands (exercise Peregrine Sword) the brigade had and succeeded for its operational readiness test to (re)apply for its 'Air assault' status. Passing the test it proved to be able to run a brigade operation with the Air Mobile Brigade and Defence Helicopter Command integrated as the 11 Air Manoeuvre Brigade.
