well, Dovo is also active abroad, at the moment they are busy cleaning up leftover cluster bomblets in Lebanon, and general disposal of weaponry in Kabul...

other historical deployments have been anti sea mine duties in the Gulf and elsewhere(although that's not Dovo, but the Belgian Navy who is specialised in anti mine operations)

the Belgian military may not be much of an offensive army, but they sure as hell take on dangerous work, i doubt there is any other army with this much expertise in dealing with live, undetonated ordnance.. i think there have been 2 wounded in Lebanon, no deaths, but it's an easy to loose a finger or a hand when doing this work

Lebanon
