We are Ngāti Tūmatauenga - the New Zealand Army
The NZ Army is a world-class, combat ready force, which is modern, agile and highly adaptive. Our mission is to provide world-class, combat ready, land forces that are trained, led and equipped to win as part of an Integrated Defence Force. We leverage modern equipment and technology in order to improve our training, enhance our decision making and optimise our capabilities.
We are a force of highly trained professionals.
We come from all walks of life and share a strong sense of what it means to be Kiwi - our culture is based on our values Tū Kaha (courage), Tū Tika (commitment), Tū Tira (comradeship) and Tū Maia (integrity). Together, we are Force for New Zealand and are proud to serve Aotearoa and its diverse communities.
We are well-equipped to operate in diverse environments, with precise effect.
Meet our leaders
Considering a career in the army?
In the Army, we'll push you to constantly better yourself, but you won't have to do it alone. You'll be part of a tight-knit team – people that you'll come to trust, no matter what. You'll be given the best possible training, equipment and encouragement.
