Description
We weren't sure what to expect when busloads of young military men and women began arriving in the plaza at the Parc du Cinquantenaire in Brussels. We were hoping the king and queen would arrive! Sadly, this didn't happen. They marched off and we followed them trying to figure out where the action was. Finally, after marching a slightly roundabout route, they all marched into the Royal Military Academy a few blocks away. We saw on the calendar for the academy that there was an oathtaking ceremony that day, so we figured this was part of the schedule of events. The Royal Military Academy is a military institution of university education responsible for the basic academic, military and physical training of future officers, and for the continuing advanced training of officers during their active career in the Defense department. The Belgian Armed Forces was established after Belgium became independent in October 1830. Since that time Belgian armed forces have fought in World War I, World War II, the Cold War (Korean War and army of occupation of the Federal Republic of Germany), Kosovo, Somalia and Afghanistan. The ParaCommando Brigade intervened several times in Central-Africa, for maintaining public order and evacuation of Belgian natives. The Armed Forces comprise four branches: the Land Component, the Air Component, the Naval Component and the Medical Component. It is active in Lebanon, Afghanistan and the Gulf of Aden.
