Korps Insulinde ('Insulindia Corps') was a Dutch Commando (special operations capable) established in March 1942 in British Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka. The unit, originally called the Netherland Special Operations, emerged from the Princess Irene Brigade alongside No. 2 (Dutch) Troop of the No. 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando. The Korps Insulinde fought during World War II against the Japanese occupiers of the Dutch East Indies. The corps was commanded by Major Frits Mollinger^{[1][better source needed]} of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) and was stationed in Ceylon. It carried out a number of long-range penetration for infiltration and intelligence gathering operations in occupied Sumatra. The corps was disbanded between November 1945 and early March 1946.
