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.

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.

    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. Wagons of War: A History of 10 Transport Company 1951-2011 A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Defence and Strategic Studies at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand. Grant John Morris 2012 ii Abstract This thesis examines the origins, formation, operations, activities and future of 10 Transport Company. It recounts that over six decades of service, the company has continued to meet the demands placed on it to provide distribution and transport support to the New Zealand Defence Force despite a number of challenges. These range from personnel shortages, to equipment serviceability and obsolescence, ever-changing command structures and threats to its unique identity. Changes in the regional and global security environment have also historically played their part, with lessons learned and doctrine from other nations influencing and shaping activities, and experiences gained on exercises and operations by the company’s own members providing much needed training realism and validity. Now in its sixtieth year, 10 Transport Company is one of only two remaining specialist military transport providers available to the New Zealand Army, and the only one located in the North Island. Its current structure and required outputs have been driven by the changes undergone within the NZ Army over a number of years; most noticeably effects are being felt through the advent of Army Transformation, with its focus on modernisation and motorisation.

    Keith Elliot V C 2 2 n d B a t t a l i o n , 2 n d N e w Z e a l a n d D i v i s i o n Keith Elliott was born in 1916 at Apiti, in the Manawatu. After attending Feilding Agricultural College, Elliott farmed and played provincial rugby for Bush. World War II began while he was working on his father’s farm near Feilding and he immediately joined the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. After serving in Greece and Crete and in the early battles of the Western Desert, Elliott reached the rank of Sergeant. At various times during the desert campaigns he was wounded, captured, freed and continued to fight. “On 15 July 1942 at El Ruweisat Ridge, Western Desert, Sergeant Elliott was wounded in the chest while leading his platoon in an attack under heavy machine gun and mortar fire. Nevertheless, he carried on and led his men in a bayonet charge which resulted in the capture of four enemy machine-gun posts and an anti-tank gun. Seven of the enemy were killed and 50 taken prisoner. In spite of his (four) wounds Sergeant Elliott refused to leave his platoon until he had reformed them and handed over the prisoners, the number of which had by then increased to 130.” Elliott was awarded a Victoria Cross for this action, and shortly after was commissioned in the field. Since Victoria Cross holders were considered good for morale back home, Elliott, in spite of his protests, was returned to New Zealand.
