The Koninklijke Marechaussee, the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, abbreviated to KMar (English is Royal Marshals, but commonly seen as Royal Military Constabulary), is one of the four Services of the armed forces of the Netherlands. It is a gendarmerie force performing military police and civil police duties. The emblem of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee is, as with many other gendarmerie forces, a 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 Kmar has been active for over a century and a half in the Caribbean. The military constabulary is responsible here for the military police task regarding the Dutch military who reside in the Caribbean. For that purpose the KMar structurally has a Brigade posted, under command of lieutenant–colonel Willy Mennen, of which the staff works in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The flaming grenade (but in this case within an eight-pointed star) was also the emblem of the Rijkspolitie.
Non curat numerum lupus
In English: The wolf doesn't worry about the number. The shepherd can keep track of his sheep, counting them and recounting them, but that is not going to stop the wolf from taking what he can. Are there supposed to be fifty sheep in your flock? The wolf doesn't care. He takes one... and all of a sudden you have just forty-nine. Metaphorically speaking, this refers to any disaster that upsets your best laid plans. The weather doesn't care if you have invited five hundred guests to an outdoor wedding; it's going to rain anyway. The traffic light doesn't care if you are running late, desperately late, to an important job interview. Although it's not quite the same idea, it's something like the English saying: "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry" (CREDIT: BESTIARIA LATINA BLOGS).
