Princess of the Netherlands Amalia begins military service: details of her training.

Princess of the Netherlands Amalia has started her training as a reservist in the armed forces at Defensity College. She became the first woman member of the Royal House of the Netherlands to enlist in military service. Amalia holds the lowest ranks in the armed forces: a third-class sailor in the Royal Navy and a third-class soldier in the Army and Royal Air Force.

According to inkorr.com: The curriculum at the college includes basic military training, but due to a hand injury Amalia sustained in June, this phase has been postponed. Currently, the princess is focusing on the theoretical part of her training, which includes studying weaponry, leadership, navigation, and security measures. Additionally, she already has experience working in the administrative headquarters of the Ministry of Defense.

Admission process and possibility of combat participation

Amalia has passed all necessary medical and psychological tests, as well as security screening, like all new reservists. Participation in the daily routine is mandatory for everyone, regardless of their status. Regarding the potential involvement of the princess in combat operations, historian Ben Schunmaker points out that the constitutional reform of 1848 narrowed the military powers of the monarch in the Netherlands.

With the detection of unidentified drones in Norway and the Netherlands, security issues have become particularly important. In the Netherlands, the Schiphol airport runway was even closed due to suspicious objects in the air.

By choosing a path in military service, Princess Amalia has sparked great public interest and raised a number of questions about potential involvement in combat, despite the restrictions imposed by the constitution regarding the role of the monarch in the armed forces of the country.

The princess's decision to become a reservist reflects not only her personal aspirations but also changes in societal attitudes towards the role of women in military service. This may serve as a symbol for young people, encouraging them to serve their country regardless of gender. Meanwhile, the evolving security situation in the region reminds us of the importance of service in military structures to ensure peace and stability.
