The National Reserve Corps (Dutch: Korps Nationale Reserve, abbreviated Natres) is a part of the Royal Netherlands Army.[1] NATRES is a corps in the sense that it has a specialized task. The reservist is part of the military, just like all Dutch military personnel, but mostly working parttime or sometimes full time as a replacement for regulars.
