Publication

The strategy presents an integrated doctrine with a focus on joint operations and internal cooperation. It serves as a doctrinal basis for other defense publications, as it provides guidance for the conduct of military operations. The realisation of the national defense doctrine (NDD) has fulfilled the requirement for guidelines for joint military operations by the armed forces. The NDD also marks the progression to the next phase in the development of Dutch military doctrine, as it will serve as afoundation for the training for and the planning and execution of joint military operations by the Dutch armed forces in a national or international context.
