Regiment Huzaren Prins van Oranje

The Regiment Huzaren Prins van Oranje was an armoured regiment of the Royal Netherlands Army, named after Prince Willem, Prince of Orange, eldest son of King Willem II.

The regiment served as part of 43 Gemechaniseerde (Mechanized) Brigade operating the Leopard 2 main battle tank.

Shortly before the Battle of Waterloo, Major Count du Chastel de la Hovarderie was ordered by the King to form a Regiment of Carabiniers Land militia.

[1] The regiment fought with distinction against the Belgians during the Ten Day Campaign (Tiendaagse Veldtocht) in August 1831.

In the mobilisation after 1939, the Dutch army wanted to improve its organisation, and a large move took place on May 1, 1941.
