Honoring Those With Whom We Served
434 IBC  Mobiel Regiment van Heutsz
The Regiment Van Heutsz is a distinguished line infantry regiment of the Royal Netherlands Army.
The 434th Infantry company is an integral part of that honored regiment. The regiment was named
after J.B. van Heutsz, a former Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. It currently operates in the
air mobile role as part of the 12th Infantry Brigade. The regiment is the bearer of the traditions of the
Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger. As of 2006, the battalion forms the basis of the battle group
attached to Task Force Uruzgan, the primary Dutch component of the multi-national forces in
Afghanistan.
