According to Boxer (armoured fighting vehicle) - Wikipedia
" 200 vehicles, deliveries from 2013 until 2018. The last Dutch Boxer was produced in July 2018. Variant breakdown following a 2016 contract modification was 12 cargo, 92 engineer (subsequently converted 12 of the 92 to Battle Damage Repair (BDR) configuration), 36 command post, 8 driver training, 52 ambulance. "
So there are no indications that the KL will add more Boxers.
Same case with the Leopard 2A6: since 2012 the Netherlands do not posses any tanks, until now, so nothing will change.
Leopard 2 A6-gevechtstank | Defensie.nl
De Leopard 2 A6 is een zware gevechtstank bedoeld om bij een aanval, vertraging of verdediging overwicht te creëren op het slagveld.
But this is quite an interesting vehicle: Vector-terreinwagen (SOF)
The Vector has potential on the exportmarket.
Technically it's a Dutch company in a German battalion in a Dutch brigade in a German division in a joint Dutch-German corps...

last week I had the opportunity to join the Dutch 11th Air mobile Brigade during a patrol exercise. Really nice to see these guys in action. The LMB (Air Assault) is the most offensive weapon of the Royal Netherlands Army. They are specialized in quick response and are mostly one o f the first military forces which are forwarded in enemy terrain during actions. In the recent years this Brigade became part of the German Division Schnelle Krafte which is the German version of an Air Mobile Division. the corporation between Germany and the Netherlands is integrated on a joined unit specialized in these kinds of assault actions. See in the link here video of these soldiers in action on the heath somewhere in the Netherlands!

So three Dutch commandos were wounded during a shooting outside a hotel in Indianapolis.
The three KCT-commandos were in Indiana for training. One of them was in critical condition after what police say appeared to be an altercation, and now it seems he is passed away.

Its seems the KCT-commandos were there for URBAN WARFARE training.

Burgemeester Indianapolis: commando's geraakt bij drive-by shooting
Burgemeester Joe Hogsett zei op een lokale tv-zender dat er een knokpartij was in een café en dat de Nederlandse militairen daarop naar hun hotel gingen. Ze werden vervolgens vanuit een rijdende auto onder vuur genomen.

The Royal Netherlands Army has become the first Western military to begin operational trials with armed unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), which is really remarkable for an army who is downgraded and almost bleeded to death for decades by the government.

The State Department has approved a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the Netherlands of High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers and related equipment for an estimated cost of $670 million.
Here we can find more details about the possible acquisition.
In the past the Koninklijke Landmacht possessed the M270 MLRS, but because of decades of budget cuts the army was in 2011 drained from all the main battle tanks and the M270 MLRS was kicked out of the inventory in 2004.

In this video you can also see some Japanese soldiers. Maybe a coincidence, maybe on purpose with the idea "look, times have changed".
