From the New Zealand Army page

Training in the tussocks đŸȘ– Exercise Crete is in the Waiouru Military Training Area.

Around 300 personnel from 1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment (1 RNZIR) and supporting units will form two Motorised Infantry Company Groups (MICG) operating under a partial battle group headquarters structure, and this is their first major evaluation of the year.

Units involved include infantry, armour, support weapons, infantry support dogs, UAS, artillery, signallers, combat and plant engineers, and military police.

“It’s also a tactical milestone for 1 RNZIR since its amalgamation with Queen Alexandra’s Mounted Rifles last year and is a significant step for the Motorised Infantry Battle Group on its ‘Road to War’, which culminates with Exercise Talisman Sabre in Australia in 2027.” ~ 1 RNZIR Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Caleb Berry

Today marks the start of Volunteering New Zealand National Volunteer Week. A week for celebrating, recognising and showing appreciation to our Volunteers.

Volunteers are the background of our country.

Thank you to each of you who have volunteered with our project - sewing, knitting, crocheting, weaving, donating yarn, tagging items, transporting items, providing administrative support, distributing items, offered to be a collection /drop off point, taken photos, made facebook posts, provided support and encouragement for the project.

Together we achieve more. Since the start of the project we've collected over 2500 items for our veterans and current service personnel.

Have a great week and give your self a pat on the back for all the project has achieved and your part in the success of Operation Wrapped in Remembrance.
