Personnel from 1RNZIR's High Readiness Platoon Group are in Tonga for Ex Tafakula. An official welcome ceremony was held with Forces from 🇹🇴🇦🇺🇳🇨 & the 🇺🇸Marine Corps. Team integration is vital for the success of the exercise, so sport is a great way to connect.

Yesterday, #25ID had the joy of welcoming Col. William P. Keelan, @NZArmy , and his family to the #TropicLightning Ohana. Col. Keelan will serve as the new Deputy Commander - #Interoperability.
For those who serve(d), “Lest we forget” is deeply felt and meaningful. It was an honour to attend the headstone dedication of CPL Snelgrove, who after surviving Gallipoli was taken by the Spanish Flu in 1918, and lying in an unmarked grave. Not forgotten. #LestWeForget
NEW: The Army Leadership Code tells us to ‘Demand High Performance’ yet we are also told that embracing failure helps us learn. Which is the right thing to do? Or can it be both?
Thoughts from a Chilean Army officer studying in the UK.

Absolute privilege to represent @morts_nz and @SMA_NZ to host members of the Jamaica Defence Force on their brief visit to NZ and the NZDF. Sharing knowledge for both forces to grow.

It has been a privilege to attend the first ANZAC Day Commemoration of 2019 in Tonga alongside the LCC, NZ and Aust Embassy, and NZDF, ADF, and HMAF. A great service with an excellent breakfast following. #AnzacDay2019. #nzdf. #ADF#hmaf
Well done LCpl Rollisson. I know that at 14 I would not have had the courage, maturity or skills to deal with a situation like this. The medics I worked with in combat were incredible people, selfless, courageous and talented; they saved lives just like you have.#YourArmyNeedsYou
STORY || Private Nikora Robinson, part of the ship offload team working in Antarctica says it has been an awesome experience.
