Officers and soldiers from 5/7 Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, spent three days focusing on live firing weapons training and development.
The main focus was on building confidence and advancing skillset with the Modular Assault Rifle System – Light (MARS-L), and conducting weapons qualifications for the MARS-L, Glock G17 pistol and the Light Support Weapon (LSW) machine gun.

As a hunter, Private Ashton Philo normally shoots his targets from about 50m, but extending that out to 300m proved no barrier recently as the Hawke’s Bay farmer came away with both the Top Shot and Top Recruit awards from his New Zealand Army course.

With Defence Driving Training School (DDTS) at the wheel, students are transformed into confident and competent military drivers through the Vehicle Licensing Operators course. The high-tempo and hands-on 45-day training takes people who may only be starting with a Class One Restricted license all the way to a Class Two Full. While mainly supporting Combat Driver trade, DDTS also takes students from all three services.
The course starts with driver training around Burnham Military Camp to ensure everyone begins at the same level before progressing to more challenging environments. To ensure students are well-prepared for any situation, the course concludes with a trip to the Tekapo Military Training Area, navigating through various terrains including rolling hills and rocky ground.

More than 300 New Zealand Army reservists and their Australian Army counterparts have taken part in the largest collective Reserve Force exercise in nearly 20 years.
Reserve Force soldiers traded their suits for boots as part of Exercise Tauwharenīkau, a simulated conflict exercise at Waiouru Military Training Area based on unrest on a fictional island in the South Pacific.
“It improved our reservists’ ability to effectively work alongside each other as a collective, to integrate with the Regular Force and to enhance our interoperability with our Australian allies.” ~ 3/6 Battalion, RNZIR Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Nick Jones
