Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

 

I would like to request the following information in relation to the
trade, qualification, and unit badges/patches worn within the New Zealand
Army.

 

-  A list of all unit patches, including temporary ones (Within the last
year), if possible, such as the 'Laser Kiwi' patch seen being worn by
members of the 16th Field Regiment.

- A list of all trade badges and qualification badges. (If possible,
please also provide information on the requirements to obtain
qualification badges.)

 

I trust that this request will be able to be fulfilled as similar requests
in the past for the RNZAF and RNZN badges/patches have been released.
