  • New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States Name Redacted Specialist in Asian Affairs
    New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States name redacted Specialist in Asian Affairs June 29, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44552 New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States Summary New Zealand is a close partner of the United States and welcomes a U.S. presence in the Asia- Pacific region. New Zealand and the United States engage each other across a broad spectrum of policy areas, including countering Islamist extremism, South Pacific regional issues, intelligence cooperation, the Trans- Pacific Partnership (TPP), and Antarctica. Issues for Congress related to New Zealand, therefore, include oversight and appropriations related to international security cooperation, counterterrorism (CT) and countering violent extremism (CVE), intelligence cooperation among the so-called “Five Eyes” nations, which include New Zealand, and TPP. U.S.–New Zealand ties are bolstered by shared cultural traditions and values as well as on common interests. New Zealand is a stable and active democracy that supports liberalizing trade in the Asia-Pacific region. New Zealand also has a history of fighting alongside the United States in major conflicts including World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. New Zealand is a regular contributor to international peace and stability operations and has contributed troops to fight militant Islamists in Afghanistan, where New Zealand had a Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Bamiyan Province, and more recently in Iraq where it is training Iraqi military personnel. As a small nation, New Zealand supports a rules based international order, collective approaches to promote stability and the peaceful resolution of disputes.

  • CHAPTER XXII on Their Return to Egypt the Australian Formations Were Sent to the Suez Canal Zone and Helped to Form There A
    CHAPTER XXII EGYPT : REORGANISATION OF THE A.I.F. ON their return to Egypt the Australian formations were sent to the Suez Canal zone and helped to form there a new defensive front for Egypt. Simultaneously with this service the force was reorganised : the infantry into five divisions, forming, with the New Zealand Division, two army corps destined for the Western Front ; the light horse into the Anzac Mounted Division and other mounted units which became part of a British force which fought for the rest of the war in Egypt, Sinai, and Palestine. The self-government of the force in all matters of internal administration was established, though not yet entirely recognised by all the authorities that dealt with it; in the medical service the new director, his powers being now confirmed by the Commonwealth Govern- ment but not fully admitted by the War Office, collected the new medical staff of the A.I.F., hastened clearance to Australia, finalised reforms in the dental and nursing services, and carried out in the A.A.M.C. units a reorganisation, which embodied several experiments of interest. * * 8 The closing of the Gallipoli campaign opened for the A.I.F. a new phase in its history, with service in a much wider and more diversified sphere of action. The next Return to three months were occupied in a complete Eemt reconstruction and reorganisation of the force, carried out while the troops were taking their part in the dispositions for the new strategic situation. The mise-en-scine of the reorganisation was the neighbourhood of the Suez Canal.
