The '''Netherlands Maritime Special Operations Forces''' ('''NLMARSOF''', also simply referred to as '''MARSOF''') is the [[special forces]] unit of the [[Netherlands Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] of the [[Royal Netherlands Navy]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Joost Margés |date=7 July 2023 |title=Geen tijd om op lauweren te rusten |url=https://magazines.defensie.nl/defensiekrant/2023/25/03_10-jaar-nlmarsof_25 |website=Defensiekrant |publisher=Defensie.nl |language=Dutch}}</ref> It is one of the three principal units tasked with [[special operations]] in the [[Netherlands]] (the other being the [[Korps Commandotroepen]] and 300SQN). The unit can be deployed worldwide to conduct special operations, including [[counter-terrorism]] both overseas and domestically, with a maritime focus.<ref name="jetski">{{cite news |last1=ten Voorde |first1=Gerard |title=Specialiteit Marsof ligt op grens van water en land |url=https://www.rd.nl/vandaag/binnenland/specialiteit-marsof-ligt-op-grens-van-water-en-land-1.527275 |work=Reformatorisch Dagblad |date=2016-02-12}}</ref> Its operations are planned and coordinated by the [[Netherlands Special Operations Command]] (NLD SOCOM).

The unit was created in 2013 with the merger of the [[M-Squadron|Unit Interventie Mariniers]] (UIM) and the Maritime Special Operations (MSO)-[[Company (military unit)|company]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=van Oosbree |first1=Gerard |title=NLMARSOF: 'Het beste van drie werelden in een eenheid' |url=https://www.dutchdefencepress.com/nlmarsof-het-beste-van-drie-werelden-in-een-eenheid/ |publisher=Dutch Defence Press |date=2013-12-01}}</ref>

== History == Until 2008, the Dutch maritime special forces capability consisted of three distinct units: the Dutch Frogmen Platoon, the Mountain Leader Reconnaissance Troop, and the [[Unit Interventie Mariniers]]. The Dutch Frogmen Platoon has historically had a strong connection with the United Kingdom's [[Special Boat Service]], and was informally often named "7th Troop SBS". The Mountain Leader Reconnaissance Troop (ML Recce Troop), was established in 1990 and modelled after the [[Brigade Patrol Troop]] of the United Kingdom's [[Royal Marines]].<ref name="forging">{{cite book |last1=Kraag |first1=Andy |author-link1= Andy Kraag |title=Forging Netherlands Maritime Special Operations Forces |date=2012-06-01 |publisher=Naval Postgraduate School |location=Monterrey, California}}</ref> The [[M-Squadron|Unit Interventie Mariniers]] (UIM), named ''Bijzondere Bijstandseenheid'' (Special Support Unit) until 2006, was formed on 22 February 1973, in response to a rising threat of terrorist attacks in both Europe and domestically. The main goal of this unit is the countering of large scale and/or complex domestic terrorist attacks.<ref>{{cite book |last1=van der Spek |first1=Christiaan |title=Een wapen tegen terreur: De geschiedenis van de Bijzondere Bijstandseenheid Krijgsmacht 1972-2006 |date=October 2009 |publisher=Uitgeverij Boom |isbn=9789085068242}}</ref>

Since 2006 the operational command of UIM is executed by the ''[[Dienst Speciale Interventies]]'' (DSI) of the [[Dutch National Police]]. In 2008, the Dutch Frogmen Platoon and the ML Recce Troop merged into the Maritime Special Operations Company (MSO-Coy) and were tasked with all amphibious operations for the Royal Netherlands Navy. While commencing in an informal manner in 2009, since 2013 NLMARSOF was officially established as a new operational unit. The MSO-Coy was renamed Conventional-Squadron (C-Squadron), and is tasked with the full spectrum of special operations outside of the Netherlands.<ref name="forging" />

UIM was renamed Maritime-Squadron (M-Squadron), and is dedicated to national counter-terrorism missions under operational command of the DSI. Training-Squadron (T-Squadron) will support both M-Squadron and C-Squadron, and is responsible for all training and the recruitment of new operators.<ref name="forging" />

== Structure == NLMARSOF currently consists of three operational squadrons, and one dedicated operational support group:<ref>{{cite web |title=Kerngegevens Defensie: Feiten en cijfers |url=https://www.nidv.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/brochure-kerngegevens-defensie.pdf |publisher=Ministerie van Defensie (Netherlands Ministry of Defence) |access-date=2020-04-22 |archive-date=2019-05-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190504184746/https://www.nidv.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/brochure-kerngegevens-defensie.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> * Conventional Squadron (C-Squadron): Tasked with executing the full spectrum of special operations outside of the Netherlands, with an emphasis on long-range reconnaissance patrols. Consists of conventional operators, [[Mountain Leader]]s and [[Frogman|Frogmen]]. * Maritime Counter-Terrorism Squadron ([[M-Squadron]]): Tasked with conducting domestic counter-terrorist operations under the command of the DSI. M-Squadron trains extensively on the neutralisation of complex terrorist attacks, for example on off-shore oil platforms. * Training Squadron (T-Squadron): Tasked with training of both C- and M-Squadron and the recruitment of new personnel within the [[Netherlands Marine Corps]] ranks. * Special Operation Forces Support Group (SOFSG): Tasked with providing operational support. * Logistic Support Group (LSG): Tasked with providing maintenance, acquisition and storage of all equipment.

== Tasks == NLMARSOF carries out four main types of operations:<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Margés |first1=Joost |title=MARSOF niet voor niets op Malta: Trojan Footprint mixt oefening met ware wereld |journal=Alle Hens |date=2016-05-23 |url=https://magazines.defensie.nl/allehens/2016/05/04_trojan-footprint}}</ref> * [[Direct Action]] (DA): Conducting small-scale offensive operations such as raids, ambushes, and sabotage. * [[Military aid|Military Assistance]] (MA): Supplying military support to foreign military units. This support can consist of both providing training and providing assistance during actual operations. * [[Special Reconnaissance]] (SR): Conducting special reconnaissance behind enemy lines, for example monitoring hostile troop movements, while avoiding direct contact with the enemy. * [[Counter-terrorism]] (CT): Conducting both national and international counter terror operations, where NLMARSOF, compared to its army counterpart [[Korps Commandotroepen]], emphasises training for operations in a maritime setting.

== Recruitment and training == All new personnel for NLMARSOF is recruited from within the [[Netherlands Marine Corps]] ranks, there is no possibility for civilians or military personnel from other branches to join NLMARSOF.<ref>{{cite news |last1=ten Voorde |first1=Gerard |title=Elite-militair Marsof ziet een vogeltje op z'n loop |url=https://www.rd.nl/vandaag/binnenland/elite-militair-marsof-ziet-een-vogeltje-op-z-n-loop-1.516848 |work=Reformatorisch Dagblad |date=2015-12-18}}</ref>

The training starts with a three-week pre-selection course, the Aptitude. Recruits must endure this pre-selection to qualify for the twenty-week MSOF-course, which will transform the recruits into NLMARSOF-operators. After the MSOF-course, all recruits must complete the fourteen-week ''Nationale Interventie Opleiding'' (National Intervention Course), which focuses on domestic counter-terrorist scenarios. The operators that have completed both of these courses are then fully operational to serve in M-Squadron. Operators bound for C-Squadron will have to complete the Mountain Leader or the twelve-week Frogmen course to obtain operational status within C-Squadron.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Twigt |first1=André |title=De lat ligt gewoon hoog |journal=Alle Hens |date=2018-12-09 |url=https://magazines.defensie.nl/allehens/2018/01/05_kikkers-marsof}}</ref>

== Units == [[File:M-Squadron NLMARSOF.jpg|thumb|Members of M-Squadron in 2020]] === M-Squadron === M-Squadron was founded as the ''Bijzondere Bijstandseenheid'' (BBE, Special Support Unit) in 1972 and was the first dedicated counter-terrorism unit in the Netherlands. Its establishment was deemed necessary after a rise of the terrorist threat level in Europe, such as [[the Munich Massacre]], and domestically, such as the terrorist attacks committed by [[Moluccans]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=van Oosbree |first1=Gerard |title=Unit Interventie Mariniers |url=https://www.dutchdefencepress.com/unit-interventie-mariniers/ |publisher=Dutch Defence Press |date=2012-03-17}}</ref>

Domestic operations conducted by M-Squadron take place under the command of the ''[[Dienst Speciale Interventies]]'' (DSI) of the Dutch National Police since 2006. While the operational command resides with the DSI, M-Squadron continues to be an organisational unit of NLMARSOF and the Netherlands Marine Corps.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Timmer |first1=Jaap |title=Krijgsmacht en politietaken |journal=Justitiële verkenningen |date=2018 |pages=79 |url=https://www.wodc.nl/binaries/JV201803_Volledige%20tekst_tcm28-335093.pdf |archive-date=2019-04-29 |access-date=2020-01-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190429065409/https://www.wodc.nl/binaries/JV201803_Volledige%20tekst_tcm28-335093.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== C-Squadron === C-Squadron conducts operations outside of the Netherlands and consists of regular NLMARSOF-operators that have completed the MSOF- and NIO-training, and operators that have completed the additional [[Mountain Leader]] and/or [[Frogmen]] training.<ref>{{cite news |last1=van Nee |first1=Jur |title=Netherlands Maritime Special Operations Force: Van toen naar nu en verder |url=https://www.kvmo.nl/media/k2/attachments/Marineblad_dec_2015.pdf |work=Marineblad |issue=125 |publisher=KVMO |date=December 2015}}</ref>

* The Mountain Leader troop consists of operators who have successfully completed the nine-month training provided by the [[Mountain Leader Training Cadre]] of the [[3 Commando Brigade]] of the United Kingdom's [[Royal Marines]]. This intense course, which partly takes place in northern Norway, trains the aspiring operators in conducting operations in high altitude and arctic environments.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mountain Leader Troops MARSOF |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWlskkIVHdI |website=www.youtube.com |publisher=[[Ministry of Defence (Netherlands)]]}}</ref> * The Frogmen troop consists of operators that have successfully completed the twenty-three-week ''Kikvorsman'' (Frogman) course which is provided by the ''Defensie Duikgroep'' (Defence Diving Group). During this course, the aspiring frogmen receive extensive training on conducting underwater assaults, reconnaissance, demolition and operating from one of the {{sclass|Walrus|submarine}}s of the [[Royal Netherlands Navy]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=van Oosbree |first1=Gerard |title=De kikkeropleiding, heimelijk leren opereren op de grens van land en water |url=https://www.dutchdefencepress.com/de-kikkeropleiding-heimelijk-leren-opereren-op-de-grens-van-land-en-water/ |publisher=Dutch Defence Press |date=2016-02-29}}</ref>
