POTD: Netherlands Marine Corps Faust Panzers
Photo Of The Day and we have some of the coolest pictures in a while available. Have you ever seen the meme “ This is a Panzerfaust. It fausts Panzers“? This is a play with that meme, as The Netherlands Marine Corps (Dutch: Korps Mariniers) we see them getting combat and shooting instructors training in Curaçao.
During no less than five weeks this Dutch elite unit has been given training consisting of tactical lessons and live fire scenarios up to and including Troop level, including their supporting weapons.
At the same time, combat and shooting instructors’ training was given. In this course, students are taught to set out shooting ranges, in so-called field fire areas.
Nighttime is no excuse for not going to the range, did you know that?
Here goes a 40 mm round onto its potato-like ballistics ride.
When not getting some sunshine on the beach, they also do missions in colder places: Arctic Warfare Training with Korps Mariniers.

An interesting weapon.
The really interesting thing is the DMV Anaconda in the background. You know the Dutch had ample supplies of wacky tobacy when the decided to base a military vehicle on a Iveco Daily (also see Iveco VM 90 and whatever it was called in Canada).
