New video on two types of platoons in the Royal Netherlands Army that are basically identical:

1. Patrol Platoons of their Air Assault Infantry Battalions, 11 Airmobile Brigade

2. Heavy Weapons Platoons of their Motorized Armored Infantry Battalions (Boxer), 13 Light Brigade

These platoons are characterized by the use of Mercedes-Benz G280 CDI light tactical vehicles armed with .50 cals, MAG 58s, and serving Spike ATGMs and Panzerfaust 3s in the mobile anti-tank role.

Nice. Whats the actual difference between the patrol and recce platoons in the airmobile units?

Doctrinally the recce platoon is more of the R in R&S while the patrol platoon is more the S. In terms of equipment the scout platoon G-Wagens are more lightly armed, just a MAG 58 up top. As far as I know their anti-tank armament is limited to the Panzerfaust 3, no Spike ATGMs.
