True. The Dutch East India Company, also known as the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), did rely on national armies for its activities in the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia). The company established its own military forces, known as the VOC Army or VOC troops, to protect its trade interests, enforce its control over the region, and defend its trading posts. These troops consisted mainly of Dutch soldiers and officers, supported by local allies and mercenaries.
