    Good Practices of End of Deployment Debriefing in the Royal Netherlands Navy Commander RNLN Marten Meijer PhD NATO Research and Technology Organization, Paris, France PO Box 25, F-92201 Neuilly Sur Seine, Cedex 01, France Tel ++ 33 1 55 61 22 60 Fax ++ 33 1 55 61 96 45 [email protected] Lieutenant RNLN Rodney de Vries BA Regional Office of the Defense Social Service, Utrecht, The Netherlands PO Box 90004, 3509 AA Utrecht, The Netherlands Tel ++ 31 30 236 6424 Fax ++ 31 30 293 7224 [email protected] ABSTRACT Practices in early psychological interventions after critical incidents have been the focus of research for several years now. In an article in The Lancet in 2002, it was concluded on the basis of seven international studies that individual single session debriefing does not lead to a decline in the incidence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) among the victims of accidents or traumatic events. At the international level, it was recommended that the term ‘debriefing’ should be replaced by the term ‘early intervention’, and that a stop should be put to the debriefing of victims of shocking events. The debate about early interventions in the Netherlands Armed Forces continued in 2004 in the memorandum to the State Secretary for Defense from the former Inspector-General of the Armed Forces. The Ombudsman of the Canadian Armed Forces suggested in 2004 a policy on End of Deployment Debriefings in his memorandum on Third Location Decompression, in which redeploying troops stay together on the transit home in a safe place to share experiences and expectations.

  • The Royal Netherlands Navy's Perspective on Cooperation
    The Royal Netherlands Navy’s perspective on cooperation Address by Lieutenant General Rob Verkerk, Commander of the Royal Netherlands Navy Galle Dialogue 2016 Abstract The fairy tale of the Bremen Town Musicians by the Brothers Grimm teaches us that change and seeking new paths may bring you an unexpected and better future. Furthermore it teaches us that cooperation is more than the sum of all parts and will enable you to achieve things that are out of reach as an individual. For those reasons, the Royal Netherlands Navy advocates cooperation with international partners. The Netherlands government has defined three strategic security interests: defence of the Netherlands and Allied territory, the international rule of law and economic security. All three imply international cooperation and indeed the Royal Netherlands Navy hardly operates anymore without cooperating with a variety of (international) partners. To enable these international operations and maintaining the required operational readiness, the Royal Netherlands Navy seeks participation in international exercises, preferably with an integrated international staff; train as you fight, fight as you train. Also technological developments, increasing costs, and international developments have led to close cooperation with industry and knowledge centres. The Royal Netherlands Navy has ample experience in this cooperation, leading to delivering more effect for less money. Some two decades ago further steps were taken by integrating large parts of the Belgian and Netherlands navies, thus reducing overhead and generate a larger scale of forces under unified command while retaining sovereignty. This integration includes command, maintenance, education and training and sharing infrastructure. Scientific research has derived criteria that are useful to balance ambition and realism in international cooperation.
