This section provides a summary of the generic performance objectives of the NZDF Outputs and Multi-Agency Operations and Tasks (MAO&T) and general support and assistance to the community. Also included is a summary of our involvement (as at 1 April 2008) in current operational missions.
The impact on Defence Outcomes that the NZDF strives to achieve is inherent in the NZDF Vision - “Three Services as one Force, being the best in everything we do”. That is, the impact is to achieve the most appropriate level of operational capability (as described earlier in Section 2) in training for all Force Elements of the Navy, Army and Air Force - given the funding, personnel and equipment (the resources) available and within a culture of cost-effectiveness. Thirteen of the NZDF’s Output Expenses involve the training of Force Elements to the Directed Level of Operational Capability (DLOC). As stated earlier, the NZDF is funded for DLOC by annual departmental appropriations. In addition the NZDF is funded for current operational deployments [forces at the Operational Level of Capability (OLOC)] for Output Expense 16 (Operationally Deployed Forces).
The NZDF Output Expenses are covered in detail in the 2008 Information Supporting the Estimates of Appropriations and the NZDF 2008/09 Output Plan. Those documents cover the Scope, Performance Standards, Performance Measures, Deployment Impact and Expenses and Revenue for each NZDF Output Expense.
