My role is national and “tri-service” which means I am responsible for planning issues associated with the activities and facilities of Army, Navy and Air Force throughout New Zealand. 2 Today I would like to make a short statement, providing background to NZDF’s submission and evidence. 3 I am familiar with NZDF’s submission on the Proposed Natural Resources Plan (PNRP) having directed consultants in preparation of those. 4 NZDF is a government department, an element of the Crown, and provides military capability as required by Government. NZDF is empowered and authorised in its activities by the Defence Act 1990 and by output agreements with Government. SUMMARY OF STATEMENT 5 Existing defence facilities within the Wellington region include the Trentham Military Camp. The Camp is a significant Defence facility and is of strategic importance regionally, nationally and internationally. The New Zealand Government purchased land for the Camp in1900, and the Camp has been in operation since before World War I. The continued operation of the Camp, and defence facilities in general, is essential in achieving Defence purposes under the Defence Act 1990 and an integral part of military capability.

  • New Zealand Defence Force: Deployment to East Timor – Performance of the Helicopter Detachment
    Report of the Controller and Auditor-General Tumuaki o te Mana Arotake New Zealand Defence Force: Deployment to East Timor – Performance of the Helicopter Detachment December 2002 Readers who are not familiar with all of the defence-related terms used in this report may find the terms explained in the glossary on pages 111-115. ISBN 0-478-18101-9 FOREWORD Foreword In November 2001 we issued our report on the New Zealand Defence Force’s (NZDF) Deployment to East Timor.1 That report looked at how the NZDF planned for the East Timor operation, prepared a joint force, and subsequently deployed that force to East Timor. We said in the November 2001 report that we would be reporting on a second examination of the roles performed by two particular elements of the New Zealand force in East Timor – helicopters and medical support. This report contains the results of the first part of that examination. It looks at the contribution of the Royal New Zealand Air Force’s helicopter detachment – looking mainly at planning for deployment during early to mid-1999, and operations from September 1999 to February 2000. I will shortly be publishing our report on the second part of the examination – Ministry of Defence: Deployment to East Timor – Performance of the Health Support Services. As with our earlier examination, the professionalism and helpfulness of the New Zealand Defence Force personnel in preparing this report have impressed us. I thank in particular the personnel from No. 3 Squadron and other Air Force units we spoke to for their willingness and co-operation.

  • Strategy and Policy Committee 12 November 2019
    Strategy and Policy Committee 12 November 2019 Report No. 19-170 Information Only - No Decision Required UPDATE ON PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) INVESTIGATIONS 1. PURPOSE 1.1. This report provides Council with an update on progress around investigations into contamination of land and water by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Horizons Region, primarily arising from the use of fire-fighting foam. 1.2. The focus of this report is on the technical findings of these investigations and excludes discussion around any regulatory activity. We provide an update on PFAS sampling programmes at Ohakea Air Base, Bulls public water supply, Palmerston North Airport and Feilding Fire Station. It is also noted that while the report touches on the proposed water supply for the Ohakea community, it is not the focus of this report. 2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1. PFAS is an acronym for a group of chemical compounds known as per- and poly- fluorinated alkyl substances that have been extensively manufactured and used worldwide. PFAS is an emerging issue following detection in soil and water on and around New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) and other sites in New Zealand. 2.2. In the Horizons Region, PFAS has been: Identified in soil, surface water and groundwater in and around NZDF Base Ohakea, near Bulls, at levels that exceed a range of human health and environmental guideline values. Detected at levels below human health drinking water guideline values in the Bulls public water supply, wastewater treatment plant influent and effluent streams, and in shallow groundwater in the vicinity of Bulls township.

  • “You Bring It, We'll Bring It Out”
    “You Bring It, We’ll Bring It Out” Becoming a Soldier in the New Zealand Army A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Social Anthropology at Massey University New Zealand. Manawatū, Nina Harding 2016 Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Abstract The transition from civilian to soldier is a process of identity acquisition. Based on participant-observation, this thesis follows a cohort of new soldiers through the first year and a half of their careers in the New Zealand Army, from their first day of Basic Training to their first overseas deployment. Both the Army as an institution and its individual soldiers are explicitly self-reflexive, and I use not only academic theory but also soldiers’ own theories of identity and identity acquisition to make sense of the experience of becoming a soldier. I show that although recruits undergo change in becoming soldiers, they simultaneously retain pre-service identities. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice, I argue that civilians join the Army because of a shared “primary habitus”, a pre-existing identification with action, productivity and continual self-improvement through facing challenges that forms recruits’ earliest embodied understandings of themselves. The relationship between this “practical” habitus and the new soldier habitus to be acquired is key to understanding the civilian-soldier transition.
