Supporting people & communities
We stand ready and are here to help.
Our size, skills, equipment and training are geared for combat, but when you’re as large as our New Zealand Defence Force, with a lot of personnel with a diverse range of skills and specialised assets, you end up being very valuable when New Zealand, New Zealanders or our friends need help.
