as the royal military constabulary is the national gendarmerie force of the netherlands performing military and civilian police duties it is also one of the two national police forces in the netherlands alongside the national police corps and is one of the four branches of the netherlands armed forces 2 history edit a marechaussee detachment at wijchen in 1938 the corps de maréchaussée was created by king william i to replace the french gendarmerie on 26 october 1814 the word gendarmerie had gained a negative connotation so william called the new force marechaussée he forgot the first acute accent in the document maréchaussée is an alternate french word for gendarmerie in the french historical context maréchaussée had been the force s name under the royal ancien regime while the term gendarmerie had been adopted by the french revolution making the royalist term preferable for the dutch king at that time the marechaussee was a part of the army landmacht the marechaussee was tasked with maintaining public order law enforcement and safeguarding the main roads although not specifically mentioned this included police duties for the army as such the marechaussee was part of the national police rijkspolitie the marechaussee was the only police force in many small municipalities such as venlo especially in the southern provinces of limburg and north brabant former generality lands in 1908 queen wilhelmina assigned the marechaussee the task of guarding the royal palaces which had previously been done by gardeners to this day guarding a palace is called klompendienst clog service after kristallnacht in november 1938 the dutch government officially closed its borders to any jewish refugees the dutch marechaussee border guards searched for them and returned any found to germany despite the horrors of kristallnacht being well known 3 in 1939 nicholas winton succeeded with his kindertransport thanks to the guarantees he had obtained from britain after the first train the process of crossing the netherlands went smoothly 4 on 5 july 1940 the german occupation government merged the marechaussee with the rijksveldwacht and the gemeenteveldwacht this meant that the marechaussee lost its military status and the predicate royal these changes did not apply to the marechaussee outside occupied dutch territory about 200 marechaussees guarded the royal family and the dutch government in exile and provided military police services to the princess irene brigade a brigade formed in the united kingdom consisting of dutchmen after world war ii the marechaussee was split into a korps rijkspolitie national police corps as a replacement of the rijksveldwacht and the gemeenteveldwacht and the royal marechaussee which regained its military status the main tasks for the marechaussee since then have been border protection military police and guard duties on 3 july 1956 princess beatrix became patroness of the royal marechaussee in 1994 the national and municipal police forces were merged into 25 regional police forces and the korps landelijke politiediensten national police services agency the national police transferred its airport police and security tasks primarily schiphol to the marechaussee in 1998 the marechaussee became a separate service within the armed forces in 2014 a team of 40 marechausee officers went to eastern ukraine to assist the investigation into the shooting down of malaysian airliner mh17 they provided security for the international team and assistance in collecting evidence from the crash site 5 emblem edit the emblem of the royal marechaussee is as with many other gendarmerie forces the flaming grenade in the 17th century a new weapon was introduced in europe the hand grenade the soldiers who handled grenades were called grenadiers they became an elite type of soldier in all european armies in france the grenade symbol was adopted by the gendarmerie and this was imitated by similar forces throughout europe the flaming grenade but in this case within an eight pointed star was also the emblem of the rijkspolitie tasks edit members of the marechaussee escorting victims of malaysia
