The Dutch government considered the area Dutch territory. Negotiations over the country were conducted for years, but tensions grew until Indonesia broke diplomatic relations with the Netherlands at the end of the 1950s. </p><p>In response, in 1958, the Netherlands deployed military reinforcements to New Guinea, including an Air Force detachment for the air defense of the island <i>Biak</i> as there was evidence that Indonesia was infiltrating the island in advance of a military operation. </p><p>The first Air Force contribution was the installation of two MkIV early warning radars on Biak and Woendi islands. </p><p>The political situation between the Netherlands and Indonesia continued to deteriorate and in 1960 the Dutch government deployed reinforcements. The operations were known by name as Plan Fidelio. For the Dutch Air Force this meant the establishment of an Air Defense Command for New Guinea (<span title="Dutch-language text"><i lang="nl">Commando Luchtverdediging Nederlands Nieuw-Guinea - CLV NNG</i></span>) consisting of: </p> <ul><li>One Hawker Hunter Mk.4 air defence squadron.</li> <li>A radar navigation system at <i>Biak</i>.</li> <li>A reserve airstrip at <i>Noemfoer</i>.</li></ul> <p>The Dutch government deployed a squadron consisting of 12 Hawker Hunter Mk.4 AD fighters and two Alouette II SAR helicopters. They were transported to Southeast Asia by the <a href="/wiki/HNLMS_Karel_Doorman_(R81)" title="HNLMS Karel Doorman (R81)"><i>Karel Doorman</i></a>. One year later the Dutch government deployed another 12 Hawker Hunter Mk6 AD fighters; these aircraft carried more fuel and had a larger combat radius. </p><p>In August 1962 Indonesia was ready to attack New Guinea. Despite reinforcements the Dutch defences would be insufficient to withstand the coming attack. Therefore, and because of international political pressure the Dutch government was forced to agree to the peaceful surrender of New Guinea. Dutch forces were withdrawn from the territory. </p><p>The establishment of 336 transport squadron is closely connected to New Guinea. Soon after activation this unit was deployed to New Guinea to take over air transport from the Dutch Navy. 336 Sqn deployed and took over three Navy Dakotas and three US supplied aircraft. 336 Sqn operated from <a href="/wiki/Frans_Kaisiepo_International_Airport" title="Frans Kaisiepo International Airport">Mokmer airstrip</a> and transported more than 5,400 passengers between September 1961 and September 1962. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Cold_War_era,_1960s,_1970s_and_later"><span id="Cold_War_era.2C_1960s.2C_1970s_and_later"></span>Cold War era, 1960s, 1970s and later</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Royal_Netherlands_Air_Force&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Cold War era, 1960s, 1970s and later"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>During the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a> Dutch Air Force flying units were integrated in <a href="/wiki/NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Second_Allied_Tactical_Air_Force" title="Second Allied Tactical Air Force">Second Allied Tactical Air Force</a> tasked with defending northern <a href="/wiki/West_Germany" title="West Germany">West Germany</a> against <a href="/wiki/Warsaw_Pact" title="Warsaw Pact">Warsaw Pact</a> forces.
