Foreign Minister Hans van den Broek announced the deployment, saying the Netherlands is concentrating its military aid to coalition partners “in certain regions.” Meanwhile, South Korea said it will seek parliamentary approval to contribute another $280 million in cash and materiel, five transport planes and 150 air personnel to the allies. The government previously committed $220 million and a 154-member military medical unit.
