Dear New Zealand Defence Force,
I am unable to locate detailed organisational breakdowns for the Royal New Zealand Air Force, Royal New Zealand Navy, or the Joint Military Police Unit. Are there organisational charts (even at a broad level) that outline the roles and chain of command within an RNZAF squadron (for example No. 40 Squadron), a RNZN ship’s company (for example HMNZS Te Kaha), and the Joint Military Police Unit? Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Jed Cox
