Early 1939 it had been planned that the four Hussar Regiments, the intended destination of the DAF M39s, would each provide for the training of their respective armoured car platoons. On 1 January 1940 the "4e Regiment Huzaren" based at Deventer would be allotted the necessary professional personnel, followed by "1e Regiment Huzaren" at Amersfoort on 1 April, "2e Regiment Huzaren" at Breda on 1 July 1940 and "3e Regiment Huzaren" at The Hague on 1 October. Once the professionals had acquainted themselves with the matériel, a training course would be devised, based on their experiences, for the conscripts, lasting fifteen months. The first DAF M39 platoon would then be active late 1941 or early 1942.
