I used to post a lot of Dutch military photos on mp.net. I'd like to pick that up here again as well, if that's alright. I'll start with some weekly photo's published by the MoD press bureau itself.
Weekly operations:
HNLMS Urk blowing up a WW2 explosives near the Port of Rotterdam.
Pzh2000 on exercise in Sweden
The Army's brand spanking new domestic MMR (Multi Mission Radar) was tested in Sweden as well.
The Queen visited HNLMS Evertsen by NH90 off the Dutch coast as the destroyer was on its return voyage from a 6 month SNMG2 deployment. She Christened the ship back in 2003.

The Dutch military has committed to fielding their new Netherlands Fractal Pattern camouflage.
Through extensive testing, they are planning on these colorways for uniforms:
NFP-Green for wooded and urban areas in Western and Eastern Europe;
NFP-Tan for arid areas such as desert, steppes and savannas;
NFP-Navy for shipboard personnel is still under development.
NFP Arctic is still being considered for winter (mountain) conditions.
However, they’ve also developed NFP-Multitone with fewer colors and slightly more contrast which contains colors from NFP-Green and NFP-Tan, making it suitable for use in both green and dry areas. This variant will be used for PPE and other field equipment.
