Re-entrant Sergeant (1) Cavalry

Introductory text

Have you recently (between now and 6 years ago) resigned as a professional soldier and were you a Sergeant (1) in the Cavalry branch/service? And do you want to return? The Special Entry Bureau of the Royal Netherlands Army is happy to see if there are opportunities 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. Therefore, you can (after proven suitability) start working again 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 consider, among other things, your military history, references and previous performance, whether you are still current enough to start in a position again, and we will try to find a match with a suitable job position.

To apply, it is not necessary to attend an information or orientation 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.

Questions about re-entering the Royal Netherlands Army can be asked via [email protected].

Maybe you are hesitating. We are not. We see not only who you are now but also who you can become. What you cannot do today, you will learn tomorrow. With good education, training, guidance, and a team that stands behind you.

Don't worry, we believe in you. At Defence, you get everything you need to grow: good education, training, coaching, and a team that stands behind you. If it doesn't work out after all? We will help you further. Together we will look at where you do fit in at Defence.
