Our soldiers, led by professional and trusted leaders, are physically and mentally prepared to meet the rigours of military operations. Our equipment is some of the latest available, technologically advanced and battle-tested.
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.
Culture & History
The unique culture of the New Zealand Army has been shaped and defined by a range of complementary influences. These include the martial traditions of the British soldier and the Māori warrior; our history, heritage and experience of war; and the characteristics of wider New Zealand society.
