Indonesian National Revolution{{See also|Indonesian National Revolution}}By Royal Decree of 19 January 1946, the then 44-year-old Colonel Spoor was appointed army commander in the Dutch East Indies with the temporary rank of lieutenant general. On 31 January, he took over the command of Lieutenant General L H van Oyen. In March 1946 Major General D C Buurman van Vreeden, as well as Spoor former staff officer of the KNIL, were assigned to him as Chief of Staff, Major Julius Tahija became his personal Adjudant. Operationally the army commander functioned in the Dutch East Indies, until autumn 1946, under the Allied South-East Asia Command (SEAC) (under Mountbatten), such that only small numbers of Dutch troops were allowed in Java. From September 1946 the integration of the Dutch troops coming from the Netherlands into the KNIl troops required a large and cumbersome organization. He led the two large Dutch military offensives ({{lang-nl|Politionele acties}}) into Java against Indonesian Republican positions; Operation Product and Operation Kraai. DeathGeneral Spoor died unexpectedly on 25 May 1949.[2] He was buried on 28 May 1949 in the Ereveld Menteng Pulo Dutch Cemetery in Jakarta, among 'his men'.
