Use of Reserve Force Structure to Deploy Full-Time Personnel

Simon Ewing-Jarvie made this Official Information request to Ron Mark

The request was successful.

From: Simon Ewing-Jarvie

Dear Ron Mark,

I request copies of all documents, notes and briefings in any form relating to the use of Reserve Force structure and positions to facilitate deployment of very senior officers (Brigadier equivalent and above) on full-time duties overseas. By way of clarification, I am specifically interested in the manner in which the currently-listed Reserve Force Major-General may be impacting on the financial position of the Reserve Force budget, any effect on or implication for the total number of very senior officers in the NZDF and any precedent that may now exist for the deployment of other Reserve Force personnel without them having to transfer to the Regular Force.

Please note that I am not seeking any information at all about the person or the role they are employed in.

An acknowledgement of receipt of this request would be appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Ewing-Jarvie

Dear Correspondent

On behalf of Hon Ron Mark, thank you for your email.

Please note information about meetings related to the Ministers’
portfolios will be proactively released (this does not include personal or
constituency matters). For each meeting in scope, the summary would list:
date, time (start and finish), brief description, location, who the
meeting was with, and the portfolio.

If you attend a meeting with the Minister on behalf of an organisation,
the name of the organisation will be released. If you are a senior staff
member at an organisation, or meet with the Minister in your personal
capacity, your name may also be released.

The location of the meeting will be released, unless it is a private
residence. The proactive release will be consistent with the provisions in
the Official Information Act, including privacy considerations. Under the
Privacy Act 1993 you have the right to ask for a copy of any personal
information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you
think it is wrong.

If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it
corrected, or are concerned about the release of your information in the
meeting disclosure, please contact the sender. You can read more about the
proactive release policy at
