Linking Outcomes to NZDF Outputs

Each of the Intermediate Outcomes is linked to NZDF Outputs through the main intervention logic links of  Employment Contexts (ECs). ECs are discussed in more detail in Section 2; suffice to state here that they are descriptions of representative and illustrative security events for which there is a likelihood that a New Zealand Government would expect to make a military response should they occur. ECs are realistic and likely contingencies ranging from security incidents in New Zealand, through possible assistance to our Pacific neighbours in law and order and disaster relief, to military commitments in any part of the world, including under the United Nations or other coalition forces. ECs are the major “drivers” as to the likely military tasks that elements of the NZDF will be required to perform and these, in turn, “drive” the military capability requirements. ECs are therefore the central and vital link between outcomes and outputs.

The NZDF Output Expense specifications are detailed at Section 3. A summary of the NZDF Output Expenses and Outputs are shown in the following table:

The following table draws together the linkages between Intermediate Outcomes, Employment Contexts and Output Expenses:

Table: Summary of Linkages between Outcomes, ECs and Output Expenses
Intermediate Outcome Sub Outcome Related Employment Contexts (ECs) Related Output Expense
  1. Secure New Zealand
  • Protected from Terrorism
ECs 1D and 1E 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16
  • Protected from Transnational Illegal Activities
ECs 1C and 2B 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16
  • Protected persons and infrastructure from Civil Instability and Disasters
ECs 1A, 1B, 2A and 2E 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16
  1. Reduced Risks to New Zealand from regional and global insecurity
  • A Secure, Peaceful and Stable South Pacific
ECs 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, and 2E 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16
  • A Secure, Peaceful and Stable Australia
ECs 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16
  • A Secure and Stable Asia-Pacific Region
ECs 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, and 4F 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16
  • A more Secure and Stable World
ECs 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E and 5F 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16
  1. New Zealand Values and Interests advanced through participation in regional and international security systems
- This intermediate outcome is much wider than all ECs and Outputs. For example, it extends to:
  • Defence Attaché posts.
  • All International and regional security fora.
  • Security Treaties/Pacts/ Arrangements - FPDA.
  • ABCA, ASIC, AUSCANNZUKUS, CCEB, NSA, PASOLS, TTCP, etc.
Some Relationship to Output Expense 15 (OE 15).
  1. New Zealand is able to meet future national security challenges
- Developmental. Future ECs developed as a result of security trends and concerns (15 – 20 years out) Some relationship to OE 15.
New capabilities may be required; resulting in requirement for restructured or new outputs.

The series of diagrams that follow provide a summary of the logic links, from strategic planning, for each of the Defence Intermediate Outcomes.
