Our Army

The New Zealand Army is a professional organisation of dedicated and loyal New Zealanders who are highly trained and well equipped to meet the challenges in our world today. In this section - Our Army you can learn about how we are organised and some of the equipment we use. 

Army Overseas

We're determined to continue being a world class Army carrying the mana (respect) of all New Zealanders. While that mana is important when we're at home, it's even more crucial when we deploy overseas. New Zealand Army personnel are currently serving and have served in missions in all four corners of the world. If you're looking to find out where we are and where we've been recently, check out the information in this section - Army Overseas
