Re-entrant Captain Royal Netherlands Army Commandos Corps

Introductory text

Have you recently (between now and 6 years ago) resigned as a professional soldier and were you a captain in the Commandos Corps at the time? And do you want to come back? The Special Entry Bureau of the Royal Netherlands Army is happy to look into possibilities for you to return as a professional soldier.

What you will do

In addition to the required civilian education(s), you have also previously completed your initial training with the Royal Netherlands Army. You can therefore (after proven suitability) get back to work immediately as a professional soldier with the Royal Netherlands Army.

Where you will work

We currently have multiple placement opportunities. If you have a preference for a specific direction and/or placement, you can indicate this so that we can take it into account.

Upon receipt of your details, we will process your re-entry request. The assessment will look at, among other things, your military history, references, and previous performance, whether you are still current enough to start in a position again immediately, and we will try to find a match with a suitable job position.

To apply, it is not necessary to attend an information session or open day. You can apply directly via the button below.

If there is a match, we will of course contact you as soon as possible to inform you about the possibilities, employment conditions, the selection and medical examination process to be followed (this may differ from the regular process), and the initiation of a security investigation.

You can ask questions about re-entering the Royal Netherlands Army via [email protected].

Perhaps you are hesitating. We are not. We see not only who you are now but also who you can become. What you can't do today, you will learn tomorrow. With good education, training, guidance, and a team that supports you.

Don't worry, we believe in you. At Defense, you will receive everything you need to grow: good education, training, coaching, and a team that supports you. If it doesn't work out, we will help you further. Together we will look for where you are in the right place within Defense.
