Though the NZ Army is only 150 years old, it has a unique richness of history. From small, ill equipped, badly organised and trained bodies, concerned with protecting little more than isolated hamlets, it has developed into an integrated, professional force of Regular and Territorial units enhancing the stability and security of the South Pacific.

The NZ Army commemorates a number of events from our brief history, however the two key days of reflection are Anzac Day and Armistice Day.

Our Museum in Waiouru honours those New Zealanders who have served during wartime.

It is a place where you can take the time to see, hear, and think about New Zealand's military heritage.
