Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

I have seen on NZDF social media that members of some RNZIR Units seem to have individual unit Badges that are something black/green and that there are modified Red Diamonds as well being worn.

I would like all available information about these types of badges (From all NZ Army Units), such as how they are worn, which specific units wear them, and examples of each badge being worn. Ideally in some similar format to previous requests such as: https://fyi.org.nz/request/32619-nz-army... would be very helpful.

Yours faithfully,

A. Mosley
