Reserves
The primary role of the New Zealand Defence Force is to protect New Zealand from security threats. As a Reservist, you will utilise your military skills in a wide range of situations from assisting in civil emergencies to operational deployments overseas.
Joining the Reserves means you can reap the best of all that a career in the Defence Force has to offer, while still holding down your full-time civilian career or studies - meaning you'll get the best of both worlds.
Being a Reservist means to join as a paid, part-time member. The Reserve Forces offer military positions on a casual, part-time basis.
