As the father of two sons myself, Defence Minister visits ATI COL Tan Kan Whye I deeply empathise with their parents. The story opening line LTC De Silva Joe Ronesh said it all, “It is a sight that a mother should never have to see.” Story by Jotham Yeo / Photography by Vishnu Prem & Jun Wei Boey LTC Ng Chong Meng For 3WO Francis Yap and his wife, the sudden loss of their two LTC (VOL) James Suresh precious sons is an indescribable pain that, hopefully, only time CPT (NS) Terence Tan can heal.

Mr Goh Eck Kheng Amidst on-going investigations, calls for the authorities to improve road safety are Mr Ku Kay Mok loud and clear. This painful incident also underscores why our Army places top priority on further improving training safety. While war casualties can be expected, during News Crew training, one life lost is one too many. All commanders and men must play their part to achieve the highest level of training safety possible. It is better to be safe than sorry. Editor Tan Wee Meng In his message to the truck driver involved, 3WO Yap stoically said, “But why regret Deputy Editor when you can take precautions?” We all need to remember this whenever we are Charles Eu tempted to take short cuts or indulge in at risk behaviour.

    BEFORE THE HEARING PANEL WELLINGTON REGIONAL COUNCIL IN THE MATTER of the Resource Management Act 1991 AND IN THE MATTER of Proposed Natural Resources Regional Plan for the Wellington Region STATEMENT OF REBECCA DAVIES ON BEHALF OF NEW ZEALAND DEFENCE FORCE SUBMITTER S81 & FURTHER SUBMITTER FS64 5 MAY 2017 STATEMENT OF REBECCA DAVIES ON BEHALF OF THE NEW ZEALAND DEFENCE FORCE (NZDF) – SUBMITTER S81 INTRODUCTION 1 My name is Rebecca Davies and I am employed by New Zealand Defence Force, (NZDF) within Defence Estate and Infrastructure, as Senior Environmental Officer (Statutory Planner). 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.

  • “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.
