After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 , much changed . Particular events shaped the organisation and capacity of the armed forces , and in particular , that of the KCT . With the threat of Cold War receding , many new conflicts appeared throughout the world . Since the 9/11 Attacks , worldwide terrorism has become the biggest threat , and there has been a very high demand for specialist counter-terrorism units , able to operate overseas . To keep up with these demands , the KCT 's old role of '' Commando Waarnemer-verkenner '' ( Commando Force Reconnaissance ) was replaced by that of the modern and versatile '' Commando Speciale Operaties '' ( '' co-spec-ops '' , or Commando Special Operations )
