NZCF use of NZDF Uniforms

A. Mosley made this Official Information request to New Zealand Defence Force

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for A. Mosley to read a recent response and update the status.

From: A. Mosley

Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

I would like to inquire about a couple of things regarding NZCF's use of NZDF uniforms.

1) Does the NZCC intend to switch to a different working dress, if so what would this look like? Would current issued uniforms be used or are there other alternatives in place?

2) Are any type NZDPM uniforms still being produced for the the NZCC? This including any accessories which may go with them such as J-Hats, Rank slides, ect. As I am aware the NZDPM was phased out somewhere around 2015 for the Air Force.

3) Are there any current NZDF issued uniforms being used by NZCF, if so what and by who?

4) What are the differences between 'CWDs' and 'GPUs'? (Air Cadets) As I am aware that GPU's were Air Force uniforms while CWDs are some sort of NZCF only uniform?

5) Does the NZDF have a stance on the use of current and or out of service NZDF uniforms by members of NZCF? As to me I don't quite understand why surplus uniforms are not used to supply the NZCF rather than making a whole different type.

Yours faithfully,

A. Mosley
