New Zealand: Section 3 - Force Structures

摘要

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is a fully professional service. Service is voluntary, and there is no conscription. The Defence Capability Plan released in November 2016 outlines the country's force structure plans out to 2030 and covers $20 billion worth of capital investment. That plan is currently under review, with a replacement expected under the successor government - which published its own Strategic Defence Policy Statement on July 6, 2018. The current strength of the Army consists of three organizations: the HQ Joint Deployable Task Force based in Burnham, the HQ 1 (NZ) Brigade based in Linton, and the HQ Training and Doctrine Command in Waiouru. There is also the NZSAS (New Zealand Special Air Services) Regiment based in Papakura.
