INTRODUCTION The objective of this Output Plan is to provide the Minister of Defence with information to assess the strategic alignment and value of the New Zealand Defence Force Outputs and, where relevant, to make comparisons with similar outputs across both the public and private sectors. The Plan also shows how the mix of outputs contributes to the achievement of the Government’s defence policy objectives. This Output Plan constitutes a record of the output delivery decisions agreed by the Minister of Defence with the Chief of the New Zealand Defence Force for Financial Year 2013/14. As such, the Output Plan forms part of the Terms of Reference for the Chief of Defence Force, and provides the output specifications upon which the Terms of Reference are based. It also amplifies information provided in the New Zealand Defence Force 2013 - 2016 Statement of Intent and is used for command, internal management and reporting purposes. File: NZDF S35W2

Purpose and Scope 1. The objective of the Output Plan is to provide the Minister of Defence with information to assess the strategic alignment and value of the NZDF Outputs and, where relevant, to make comparisons with similar outputs across both the public and private sectors. The output specifications in this plan are intended to assist the Minister in determining that the outputs conform with and link to the Government's outcomes for defence and defence policy objectives, and also represent value for money. 2. The Output Plan allows the Minister of Defence to:

a. agree to the cost, quantity and quality of desired outputs;

b. make comparisons with other providers where possible;

c. assess the risks and obligations associated with delivery;

d. record any amendments;

e. subsequently verify that each output has been delivered; and

f. hold the CDF accountable for delivery of the specified outputs. 3. Information on the composition of the NZDF Outputs, the present force structure for their delivery, and the output specifications are contained in Schedules 1 to 4 of this Output Plan. A summary of the content of each schedule is as follows:

a. Schedule 1: Framework for the NZDF Outputs. This schedule covers CDF’s corporate guidance and the framework governing the delivery of NZDF Outputs.

b. Schedule 2: NZDF Force Structure. This schedule describes the current

force structure and details the force elements that contribute to the forces provided as options for employment by Government.

c. Schedule 3: NZDF Output Specifications. This schedule details the

description, quantity, quality, measurement and cost for each NZDF Output Expense.

d. Schedule 4 (Promulgated Separately). This schedule is classified and

contains a summary of NZDF force element preparedness criteria statements down to Output level; information relating to levels of capability, standards and response times, and aspects which could impact on output performance and/or the ability of force elements to maintain the Directed Level of Capability (DLOC) or to attain the Operational Level of Capability (OLOC).

4. Schedules 1, 2, 3 and 4 to this Output Plan, and any amendments to the output specifications contained therein, or as may be agreed by the Minister of Defence during the course of the year, shall be deemed to form part of the Plan.

OP - 4

Powers and Obligations 5. The powers and obligations of each party include:

a. The Minister of Defence

(1) In accordance with Section 7 of the Defence Act 1990 the Minister of Defence shall have the power of control of the NZDF which shall be exercised through the CDF.

(2) The output mix within an output expense can be changed at the discretion of the Minister of Defence.

b. The CDF

CDF is accountable to the Minister of Defence for the delivery of the outputs specified in this plan as to the quantity, quality, timeliness and cost specified. CDF remains accountable for the delivery of any part of an output expense or output that has been provided by a third party on his behalf.

c. Statutory Independence of the CDF

Section 8 of the Defence Act 1990 gives the CDF sole responsibility for:

(1) command of the Navy, Army and Air Force through the respective Chiefs of Staff; and

(2) command of any joint force, either directly or through a joint force commander.

Consequently, nothing in this plan shall affect the statutory independence

of the CDF from Ministerial direction with regard to: (1) the issue and promulgation of Defence Force Orders (DFOs);

(2) all aspects of military discipline;

(3) the appointment or enlistment of members of the Armed Forces and the appointment of civil staff of the Defence Force;

(4) the terms and conditions of service for members of the Armed Forces, and the conditions of employment of civil staff of the Defence Force; and

(5) the establishment and functions of the Chiefs of Staff Committee.

OP - 5

Defence Amendment Bill 6. The Defence Amendment Bill 2012 is currently going through the Parliamentary process. The Bill amends the Defence Act 1990 to implement government policy as set out in the Defence White Paper 2010. Relationship to Veterans’ Affairs New Zealand (VANZ) 7. With effect from 1 July 2008 VANZ became an operational unit of the NZDF. From 1 July 2013, outputs appropriated in Vote Veterans’ Affairs New Zealand have been merged into Vote Defence Force. The total output cost shown in the preceding table ($2,290,770 million) differs from the total output cost shown within the Forecast Financial Statements of the NZDF within the 2013/14 Estimates documents as those statements incorporate the departmental output expenses of VANZ - whereas this Output Plan does not. A separate VANZ Output Plan for 2013/14 between the Minister of Veterans’ Affairs and the Chief of Defence Force, delegated to the General Manager of VANZ, has been raised. Term of the Output Plan 8. The NZDF Output Plan is annual and matches the period of the Parliamentary appropriation. This Output Plan covers the period 1 July 2013 – 30 June 2014. Procedures for Amendment 9. The Output Plan, including the Schedules, may be amended from time to time following discussions between CDF and the Minister of Defence. Such changes will normally be the result of unforeseen events or external pressures that have affected the capabilities or activities of the NZDF. The cost of an output in the schedule may be altered, subject to the provisions of the Public Finance Act 1989. 10. A record of any decisions made on this plan, at formal meetings, will be included in the appropriate minutes. Following any informal discussions between CDF and the Minister of Defence, a record of decisions made and action to be taken regarding amendments to this plan, or the schedules thereto, will be prepared by CDF's staff for countersigning by both parties. Formal amendment to this plan will be issued in writing, as required, and attached to the plan. Copies of the original and amended plan will be held by both parties to the plan.

Coordination and Consultation 11. To ensure effective policy coordination relevant NZDF staff will be made aware of the Government's key priorities and economic strategy, and there will be consultation with all government departments/agencies likely to be affected by resource management and service delivery decisions taken by the NZDF. All the actions of the NZDF will be in accordance with the collective interests of the Government. Monitoring and Reporting 12. CDF will provide the Minister of Defence with a number of reports on the NZDF to ensure he is afforded the following information:

a. an update of force element preparedness and response options to undertake the tasks defined in each output, against measures and standards contained in Schedules 3 and 4 of this plan;

b. progress against Strategic Objectives;

OP - 6

c. an explanation of any below standard output performance, or inability to deliver, and any resulting impact on DLOC generation;

d. an explanation of all significant variances; and

e. the proposed action to correct negative variances. 13. CDF will report to the Minister as follows:

a. Oral reports on NZDF output production/performance and progress with Strategic Initiatives, at the regular meetings held with the Minister.

b. Written reports on occurrence when necessary, detailing any significant or unexpected variations of military capability, programmed level of activities, or failure to progress Strategic Initiatives.

c. Weekly summary of NZDF activities containing the rolling two-week forecast of NZDF activities.

d. Quarterly reports covering:

(1) circumstances or developing trends that have the potential to lead to failure to produce an output to its agreed performance specifications at year's end, or to progress Strategic Objectives, and the remedial action that has been taken;

(2) issues that have arisen, either internally or externally, that impact upon CDF's responsibility for personnel issues, financial performance and efficient management of the NZDF;

(3) summary financial report, including variances;

(4) major community support; and

(5) anticipated significant issues or events for the next quarter.

e. Annual Report to Parliament, provided at the end of each financial year (normally tabled in Parliament in September each year). This will include:

(1) the performance achieved against all agreed measures and standards for all outputs;

(2) performance against costs for each output expense;

(3) progress in achieving Strategic Objectives and Initiatives;

(4) all amendments to the Output Plan made during the year; and

(5) an explanation of any failure to reach an agreed performance specification.

f. Special reports when requested by the Minister.

g. Statutory requirements reports as required by the Public Finance Act 1989 (such as a Statement of Intent and Annual Report) or any other relevant acts.

14. Quarterly Reports, including preparedness of force elements, will be forwarded to the Minister after the end of each quarter. For 2013/14, Quarterly Reports will be forwarded to the Minister by:

a. First quarter - 15 Nov 13 (covering Jul - Sep 13).

b. Second quarter - 28 Feb 14 (covering Oct - Dec 13).2

c. Third quarter - 15 May 14 (covering Jan - Mar 14).

d. Fourth quarter - 15 Aug 14 (covering Apr - Jun 14).

2 Due date delayed due to Christmas break.

Interpretation 15. If any differences of opinion between the CDF and the Minister of Defence arise under this plan, or any matter not covered by the plan relating to the supply of the outputs arises, the parties agree to discuss them with each other and seek to resolve the issues. Sanctions 16. NZDF outputs provide the Government with a range of military forces (force elements) to protect and advance the security interests of New Zealand. However, it is not possible to forecast precisely the specific forces and circumstances of the responses to be made during 2013/14. The overall aim will be to meet commitments in a manner that is acceptable to Government and that is agreed between the Minister of Defence and the CDF. 17. In the event of an inability to deliver any particular output, the cause will, as a matter of course, be the subject of discussion between the CDF and the Minister of Defence. Failure to deliver fully any output agreed with the Minister will also be explained in the Annual Report and highlighted in audit and quarterly reports. Payment 18. The amount paid by the Crown for each output expense shall be for the full year but shall be paid in instalments during the year based on the cash payment schedule agreed with Treasury. 19. The price to be paid for an output expense in the Plan shall be based on the estimated cost of the outputs, excluding GST. Procedures for Funding Unplanned Major Operations 20. NZDF Outputs contain appropriations for known activity levels. If the Government decides to activate a significant contribution to an operation that has not been funded, under Output Expense 16 (Operationally Deployed Forces), the additional costs associated with generating the OLOC required, the deployment, and the sustainment of the force for the duration of the task, will need to be considered separately. In such circumstances, funding will be provided by a reprioritisation of existing expenditure and by further appropriation, as necessary. Funding proposals for major unplanned initiatives, including trade-offs against existing activities, will be considered on a case-by-case basis within agreed Cabinet procedures. Signed Statement 21. Schedule Three of this Output Plan, which forms part of my Terms of Reference with the Minister of Defence, has been signed off by myself and the Minister of Defence as part of the Information Supporting the Estimates of Appropriation for Vote Defence Force for FY 2013/14. (Signed on behalf of CDF by VCDF).

PART 1

CORPORATE GUIDANCE

STATEMENT BY THE CHIEF OF DEFENCE FORCE

The White Paper confirmed the role of the Defence Force remains being ready, and able to deliver on operations – be they combat, peacekeeping, or humanitarian assistance. Being ready, and delivering, has been an ever present component of Service life and has been no more evident than through our operations, combat deployments and our humanitarian efforts, both at home and abroad. Our performance in all of these roles has again demonstrated that we know we have the right people, skills and equipment, and that we are ready and able to succeed when and where required. Our Defence Force has embarked on operations, maintained preparedness, introduced and developed new capability and delivered on the reform programme reflecting the strategic direction set out in the White Paper. Government spending for defence has in fact remained relatively stable and this reform programme has allowed us the headroom to focus on frontline capability. This includes a weapons upgrade for our frigates, a new replenishment ship for the Navy, a range of new combat weapons systems for the Army and new and upgraded aircraft for the Air Force to better train our pilots and crew. The public can have confidence that Defence Force equipment on operations is world class and suitable for the role. Now that we have largely withdrawn from major operations that have occupied us for the last decade – Afghanistan, Timor-Leste and Solomon Islands, we will be continuing to provide a responsive combat capability to protect New Zealand and our interest in the Southwest Pacific. The Defence Force, in partnership with Veterans’ Affairs New Zealand, will also assist in coordinating the New Zealand Government’s participation in key forthcoming commemorations. While the ‘business’ of a Defence Force will likely see people put into harm’s way, executing our tasks in the safest way possible must be our priority. Good health and safety practices aren’t some commercial work practice add-on for a Defence Force. Health and safety is an essential component of the general wellbeing of our people - it is the right thing to do for our people and I am committed to achieving organisational excellence in health and safety. Our Future 35 strategy builds on the strategic themes of capability renewal and organisational reform that have guided our change programme. How we balance the familiar with the new is outlined in Future 35. We have further developed our strategic objectives and are able to provide a more detailed roadmap of where we will be focusing our efforts.

S1 - 1

That focus is based around three timelines: Delivering a Joint Amphibious Task Force by 2015; Enhancing our combat capability by 2020; and Having an integrated Defence Force by 2035 Despite these changes, our mission has not changed – keeping New Zealand secure. Integral to our mission, are our operations to secure our exclusive economic zone, our work in supporting Antarctica and our security responsibilities in the Cook Islands, Niue and Tokelau. We have introduced a new vision: ‘Joint Operational Excellence.’ It is one of the signposts for how we will be operating in the future and it points to us being integrated. It is about being an operationally focused military force. This is our core business; our reason for being.

PART 2

DELIVERY OF NZDF OUTPUTS

Purpose 1. The NZDF 2013 - 2016 Statement of Intent contains information at the strategic level. It covers, in some detail, the linkages with the Government’s Defence White Paper 2010, Defence outcomes, strategy, and changes signalled in the recent White Paper. That information will not be repeated here. 2. Rather, this part of Schedule 1 will focus primarily on the main aspects that relate directly to the delivery of the NZDF Outputs. 3. The following is a diagrammatic representation of the linkages involved from Government direction on Defence to the delivery of NZDF Outputs. It is important to understand from the diagram that, generally, the “Delivery of NZDF Outputs” is our business as usual whereas the “NZDF Strategy” is to create and manage change. “Change”, in this context, is effected through the on-going NZDF Strategic Objectives and Initiatives.

The Defence Act 1990 4. The primary legislation concerning the raising and maintaining of New Zealand’s armed forces is the Defence Act 1990. That Act confirms the purposes of the armed forces, constitutes the NZDF, affirms that the armed forces are under Ministerial authority, defines the roles and relationships of senior officials, and makes provisions, generally, in respect of the establishment, control and activities of the NZDF, and related matters.

5. The Act also allows the Armed Forces to be made available for the performance of public services and assistance to the civil power in time of emergency, either in New Zealand or elsewhere. 6. The Defence Amendment Bill, currently before Parliament, seeks to amend the Defence Act to implement government policy, as set out in the White Paper. Primary Mission of the New Zealand Defence Force 7. The primary mission of the NZDF remains:

“to secure New Zealand against external threat, to protect our sovereign interests, including in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and to be able to take action to meet likely contingencies in our strategic area of interest.”

NZDF Vision: Joint Operational Excellence 8. The NZDF vision is integrated in the way we work, train and operate at home and abroad. We need to focus on working better together and being excellent in all we do, so that we are better able to win on operations. 9. The Defence Force’s vision is one of the signposts for how we will be operating in the future and it points us to being more integrated in the way we work, train and operate at home and abroad. Excellence is not an end state – it is ongoing and reflected in the way we do things. Joint Operational Excellence will be achieved through the cascading timelines of 2015: the Joint Amphibious Task Force, 2020: enhanced combat capability, and by 2035: the integrated Defence Force. Minister’s Priorities 10. The Minister of Defence has confirmed that his priorities for the NZDF for 2013/14 are to be focused on the following:

a. addressing affordability issues;

b. maintaining momentum in key relationships; and

c. organisational improvements.

11. More detail on these priorities is provided in Section 4 of the 2013 - 2016 Statement of Intent.

S1 - 5

Strategy 12. The NZDF’s strategy is illustrated in Future 35 and in section 3 of the 2013 - 2016 Statement of Intent. It sets out how the Defence Force will meet the defence and security needs of New Zealand out to 2035. NZDF Outputs 13. All NZDF Output Expenses contribute to at least one Defence Outcome and a number contribute to all. While the Defence Outcomes are grouped by, and are relevant to, geo-strategic regions, the NZDF Outputs are grouped by NZDF force elements that are relevant to employment in a number or all of the geo-strategic regions. 14. The NZDF Outputs, in the main, comprise the military capabilities resident in the force elements of the Navy, Army and Air Force and, from a joint perspective, when these force elements are grouped under the operational command of HQ JFNZ. The NZDF structure and outputs are aligned to provide clear command responsibilities and accountability for output delivery. The Government purchases annual outputs from the NZDF at specified levels of capability and preparedness that provide options for particular military tasks to achieve the Defence Outcomes. Inter-Department/Agency Collaboration 15. The NZDF is not the sole contributor to Defence Policy Objectives or Outcomes, or the security of New Zealand; other government departments and agencies also contribute. The relationship that the NZDF has with these other departments and agencies, under the all-of-government approach, is taking on increased importance. A diagram showing the main departments/agencies that the NZDF has a working relationship with, and in most cases shares common outcomes, is included in the NZDF Statement of Intent. It should also be noted that, in most situations in New Zealand, the other government departments/agencies are being supported by the NZDF, i.e. those departments/agencies take the lead. Note: For additional detail on the NZDF’s relationships with other government departments/ agencies, see Appendix 2 to Schedule 3 to this Output Plan. Capability Management Framework 16. NZDF capabilities rely heavily on capital equipment in most areas of activity - ships, aircraft, vehicles and weapons. For that reason comprehensive processes are necessary to ensure that:

a. capability requirements are properly defined;

b. acquisition processes are sound;

c. capital assets are managed properly during the course of their life; and

d. capital replacement projects are initiated in a timely manner. 17. These processes are defined in Defence’s internal Capability Management Framework (CMF), which is a governance and management system for long-term investments in defence capabilities. The CMF is the means through which Government defence policy is translated into military capabilities that are able to meet the Government’s security objectives. The CMF is designed to give clarity of responsibility, accountability and process throughout the life of a capital project. 18. The CMF strategy focuses on identification of all the functional components of the proposed capability and on the quality of the information required in major defence

S1 - 6

capability projects (new and upgraded), including cost estimates, operational assessments and whole-of-life management. Employment Contexts 19. Strategic guidance provides information on the circumstances in which the Government may choose to use military forces. The CMF uses this guidance to develop regionally grouped Employment Contexts. Employment Contexts are descriptions of representative and illustrative security events for which there is a likelihood that a New Zealand Government would expect to make a military response should they occur. Employment Contexts are selected through assessment of New Zealand’s geo-strategic situation and international security trends. The Employment Contexts are also chosen on the basis of their likelihood of occurrence in the near and longer terms and the consequences for New Zealand’s Defence Outcomes if the NZDF was unable to provide an appropriate response. Employment Contexts include high level Operational Concepts which, in turn, drive Military Response Options (MROs) and the associated Joint Mission Essential Tasks (JMETs), that is, those tasks that deployed forces must be able to perform. These JMETs drive the priorities for the single Services’ and joint annual training activities and which determine the output parameters that need to be delivered in order to meet the Government’s requirements. The Employment Contexts also designate the anticipated time (known as the Response Time) available for the final preparation of force elements for their operational deployment; this affects the level of capability that must be maintained on an annual basis. Concepts for operations, Military Response Options, and Contingency Plans (CONPLANS) can then be developed for relevant Employment Contexts. Current Employment Context Operational Concepts list the most likely force elements that would be involved in each security event. These force element lists are a guide only and are not exhaustive; each security event may require the addition or deletion of some force elements. 20. Employment Contexts provide the detail that ensures the NZDF output quality dimension is consistent with defence policy. A description of ECs is provided at Appendix 1 to this Schedule. Note: The current set of Employment Contexts was reviewed in 2007 and approved by the Executive Leadership Board on 15 November 2007. The reviewed Employment Contexts reflect the changes in New Zealand’s strategic circumstance. Relevant changes have been incorporated into this Output Plan. Military Capability 21. Military Capability is the power to achieve a desired operational effect in a selected environment and to sustain that effect for a designated period. It is the combined effect that systems of inputs have in helping to achieve a particular operational consequence. Military capability goes beyond just equipment. Rather it includes all necessary elements that, together, enable a military capability to achieve an operational effect. The elements that make up military capability are Preparedness, and the components described by the acronym PRICIE as follows:

a. Personnel (all personnel elements of the capability including personnel sustainment and individual training).

b. Research and Development. c. Infrastructure/organisation/structures, all major infrastructural works

projects. d. Concept of operations/doctrine/ collective training. e. Information/technology. f. Equipment and Logistics.

S1 - 7

22. Military Capability comprises an amalgam of PRICIE and Preparedness. PRICIE encompasses the quantitative dimension of NZDF Outputs, and preparedness is the qualitative dimension, which is encapsulated in the physical components of fighting power.

23. The physical component of fighting power is the physical means to fight. It has five elements: personnel, equipment, integrated performance, readiness and sustainability. The effective combination of these five elements is essential in order for the NZDF to be deployed in good time and sustained to achieve the tasks assigned by the New Zealand Government. These elements are defined in the NZDF’s publication “New Zealand Defence Doctrine” (NZDDP-D Third Edition 2012).

24. For the purposes of reporting preparedness as part of the Operational Preparedness Reporting and Evaluation System (OPRES), four key measurement areas are used: personnel, equipment, trained state and sustainability (PETS). These are defined as follows:

a. Personnel. The servicemen and servicewomen that comprise the

NZDF, both regular and reserve, are highly trained and skilled volunteers. They go through a rigorous selection and initial training process that gives them an essential grounding for the further professional development and collective training necessary to turn them into effective combatants. NZDF personnel are highly regarded internationally. Nevertheless, their skills need to be nurtured, developed and retained. No matter how successful they might have been in the past, their effectiveness can easily be undermined by changing economic, social and political factors and by significant shifts in the

values of society as a whole.

b. Equipment. NZDF force elements can expect to deploy on operations with their existing inventory of equipment. A fundamental part of maintaining war fighting ability is the procurement of the best and most effective equipment that can be afforded. The aim of this procurement philosophy is to achieve a technological advantage over potential adversaries, either in isolation or in conjunction with coalition partners. Ideally those in defence related industries should have a clear understanding of the New Zealand approach to military operations in order that they can better anticipate the NZDF’s equipment needs.

c. Trained State. Trained state is the end result of individual and collective training across the NZDF. This is achieved only through an understanding of common doctrine, combined with collective training and exercising to rehearse and sharpen the ability to apply it. Commanders devise ways of ensuring that the forces under their command are as prepared as possible for the ultimate demands of war fighting. There can be no compromise on this, as the ability to deploy fully prepared for combat is at the core of war fighting.

d. Sustainability. Sustaining military forces in war is as vital a function as

their ability to deliver firepower. As soon as an operation starts, events will generate further demands on the force. It cannot be assumed that a campaign plan will survive the first encounter with the enemy. This is why the ability to sustain is so important as part of fighting power.

S1 - 8

Level(s) of Capability 25. The Directed Level of Capability (DLOC) is the level of capability that the NZDF is funded to maintain during the financial year in order to provide the Government with options for the commitment of military forces. In purchasing this level of capability, the Government retains in the NZDF the essential minimum capacity from which operationally effective force elements may be generated within agreed Response Times (RT). (RT are adjusted when preparedness states are less than fully prepared (P1.) 26. Using the Employment Contexts it is possible to establish the DLOC that a force element needs to have reached in order to carry out its military tasks effectively. For a force element to be at its DLOC for a particular Employment Context means that it has the requisite preparedness state. The DLOC requirements for all NZDF force elements are detailed in Schedule 4 to this Output Plan. 27. RT will vary depending on the plausible setting (Employment Context) in which the force element may be used. For example, the RT for the Counter-Terrorist forces is very short, meaning that they must be immediately available for such military tasks within their designated degrees of notice, while the RT for force element contributions to a battalion group is longer and their day-to-day readiness can be designated accordingly. The longer the RT a force element has, the lower the level of capability, up to a point, that the force element has to maintain on a routine basis. Response Times for individual force elements for likely contingencies are detailed in Schedule 4 to this Output Plan. In essence, the Response Time relates to the difference between the preparedness state of fully prepared (P1) and the Operational Level of Capability (OLOC). RT will be increased accordingly, where forces are held below P1 (see the preparedness rating table later in this section). 28. To hold force elements at OLOC on a routine basis is expensive and demanding on equipment readiness and personnel availability and training. When a force element is activated to perform a military task, additional funding may be required to enable that force element to transition from DLOC to (OLOC) (i.e., to resource the additional training and stores usage), for the deployment and for the sustainment of the activated force element for the expected duration of the operation. A force element achieves OLOC at the end of its RT, and is ready to deploy to the specific mission it has been activated for. 29. Two of the dimensions of outputs, Personnel and Equipment, represent relatively fixed costs in the short to medium term and thus cannot provide a sensitive mechanism for varying the amount and cost of the NZDF’s annual product. However, as a general statement, the outputs’ training dimension can be varied in the short term. For example, these can be adjusted on an annual basis by increasing or decreasing the amount of activities undertaken by a force element which will vary the consumption rate of items such as fuel and munitions used during such training. However, there is a minimum level of readiness training activities that need to be undertaken on an annual basis to keep units viable. 30. Varying the training activities has a direct impact on the DLOC of a force element, i.e., if training activities are reduced, then the DLOC is reduced and the force element would:

a. not be able to generate OLOC in the specified RT (i.e., would not be fully prepared (P1)); or

b. require the RT to be increased to allow for the extra activities that would need to be undertaken to generate OLOC.

S1 - 9

31. The training dimension of NZDF outputs offers the potential to vary in the short term (i.e. on an annual basis) the cost of what the NZDF can be tasked to produce. However, there are consequences to making such choices as any extension to Response Time, for example, has an increased activation cost in that more activities have to be undertaken to raise the force element from DLOC to OLOC, and there is a risk that applicable force elements may not be available within the necessary timeframe to provide military options to government. 32. In exceptional circumstances (for example for personnel, technical, or financial reasons), CDF may grant approval, for a specified period, for a force element to maintain a lower level of capability than would otherwise be desirable. The lowest level of capability is the Basic Level of Capability (BLOC). This is the minimum level at which military capabilities have to be held if they are not to be permanently lost. At BLOC, a force element could not reach an OLOC in less than six months, so will not generally be available for military tasks. Also, some of the more complex force elements may take more than six months to regenerate military capability. 33. As a result of equipment modernisation action, commissioning or decommissioning, a force element may not be able to achieve a level of capability. In this case, it is classified as NLOC (No Level of Capability) and would not be expected to be available for military tasks. 34. The diagram below illustrates the relationship between levels of capability and time.

Ca

Notes: An individual force element is not expected to maintain its DLOC at all times. Depending on, for example, posting cycles, activity

rates and exercise programmes, a force element’s present (or current) level of capability (PLOC) may fluctuate at, above or below

DLOC. Movement from DLOC to OLOC requires the provision of additional resources. The operational viability period is the period of

time for which forces must be able to operate independently from the start of operations until guaranteed lines of supply are established.

S1 - 10

Providing Government with Choice in NZDF Outputs 35. The output specifications in the NZDF Output Plan (Schedules 3 and 4) provide indicative force element employment options to provide choice to the Government when considering the commitment of NZDF elements to operations. These options relate mainly to the size (quantity) of force elements or parts thereof, and the RT, for applicable Employment Contexts. For example, in terms of contributing infantry elements to operations under the Land Combat Forces (Output Expense 7), the Government has the choice of selecting a sub-element, such as an infantry platoon (up to about 40 personnel) for low-level tasks at short notice, or larger elements, such as a company contributing to a light task group (motorised or non-motorised - up to about 260 personnel) for higher-level tasks at longer notice. 36. While these employment options provide a basis for planning, training and assessment of the NZDF, the requirements of actual operational deployments will vary from these standard options. Every operational deployment is different and will require a different “mix” of factors based on the known requirements at the time. Before forces are committed to operations the NZDF will conduct operation-specific planning in order to provide the government with more detailed advice on employment options, costs and risks. The major factors that will affect government decisions include:

a. Variation between the Employment Context planning assumptions and the actual operational situation, such as:

(1) National/Political imperatives – Foreign Relations policy.

(2) Geographic Location.

(3) Threat level/s.

(4) Military tasks to be performed.

(5) Rate of effort required.

(6) Friendly Forces / Support.

(7) Geography / Demography / Local Infrastructure / Host Nation Support.

b. Size of deployed forces;

c. Time available to raise force elements/the force to OLOC and to provide task-specific enhancements and training;

d. Duration of operational commitment (total length of deployment);

e. Level of additional funding required. [Can it be funded from within the current annual appropriated funding for Output Expense 16 (Operationally Deployed Forces) or will additional funding be required? Some reprioritisation of funding within the NZDF may be required]; AND

f. Concurrency requirement considerations for both deployed and non-deployed forces. This includes the ability to deliver essential military capability in the New Zealand/South Pacific area (such as tasks under EC 1) while the force is deployed, and the need, based on total length of deployment, for raising replacement and rotation forces to OLOC before deployment.

37. The Government, in considering possible commitment to operations, may well need to apply “trade-offs” between the factors listed above. For example, multiple-force elements are often reliant on the same pool of personnel and equipment for sustainment and rotation purposes; this therefore reduces the length of concurrent deployments that can be sustained.

S1 - 11

38. The total length of deployment poses one of the greater risks for government when considering commitment to operations. Essentially, for the comparatively small forces that the NZDF has, the greater the size of the force to be deployed and the longer the deployment, especially for deployments in excess of 12 months, the greater the risk in the ability of the NZDF being able to sustain that force - in terms of personnel rotations and logistic support. Deployments of greater than 12 months also carry the risks of other DLOC Mission Essential Tasks being eroded if they are not required on the deployment. The NZDF commitment to East Timor (1999-2002) provides for a good example in this regard. 39. The mix of factors that go into the Government’s and the NZDF’s decision making on options for deployment on operations is complex. It is therefore not realistic to expect the NZDF to detail in this Output Plan a detailed matrix of options for every conceivable situation that might lead to the Government requiring a military response. However, in the detailed strategic and operational planning that is conducted for likely operational commitments to known situations, the Government will be presented with the options. The options presented will detail the known military risks. In general, these risks will revolve around the level of threat (physical and environmental), the length of deployment and the associated ability of the NZDF to sustain the operations in terms of personnel (rotations) and logistic support, and the ability of the NZDF to perform essential concurrent operations in New Zealand and the South Pacific. Impact of Operational Deployments and Introduction of Equipment into Service on Output Expenses/Outputs: Concurrency 40. The NZDF Output Expense/Output Specification tables (for Output Expenses 2 to 14, inclusive) detail the full capacity of the force elements to undertake tasks against designated Employment Contexts. If the force elements, or parts thereof, of any Output Expense are actually deployed on operations the ability of the NZDF to deploy similar force elements, concurrently, to another operation may be significantly reduced. For example, while the NZDF had a battalion group committed to operations in East Timor, another battalion group could not have been concurrently deployed elsewhere. The limited range of capabilities and the limited quantity of force elements maintained by the NZDF means that there may be only limited capacity to deploy like force elements concurrently. 41. From the start of FY 2013/14 (1 July 2013) elements of the NZ Army will be in regeneration mode after the recent past and current high operational tempo of overseas deployments (Afghanistan, Timor-Leste and Solomon Islands). This will provide Army with the capability to provide both a Light Task Group ((LTG) and a Combined Arms Task Group (CATG) for concurrent deployments. The combination of these two task groups also provides an option to deploy an 800 man CATG. 42. The withdrawal of the P-3K Orion and C-130 Hercules aircraft on a rolling programme for upgrading will continue to reduce the full capacity of these force elements. While the minimum number of aircraft required by the NZDF Output Plan for OLOC may be available, the reduced capacity will have an effect on the duration of any operational deployment/s and the ability to rotate any such deployment/s. 43. Output Expense 3 (Naval Support Forces) will not be at full capacity until such time as HMNZS Canterbury has achieved its full operational release. The same restriction also applies for Output Expense 5 (Naval Patrol Forces) in respect to the Offshore Patrol Vessels.

44. In addition to the foregoing, the following elements will be involved in operational deployments at the start of FY 2013/14. These deployments will obviously

S1 - 12

limit the ability of the NZDF to generate like force elements for concurrent operational deployments elsewhere:

a. Army – elements, predominantly Army, deployed in support of the Multi-national Force and Observers (MFO) in the Sinai3.

b. Air Force elements - from time to time, B-757 and C-130 Hercules aircraft support, including resupply and transport of personnel/equipment to/from exercises.

c. Navy and Air Force elements (various Outputs) involved on Domestic Tasks in and around New Zealand, and possibly overseas.

Services in Support of Other Government Departments and the Community, including Domestic Tasks4 45. Conducting the training activities needed to maintain DLOC for operational employment also produces within the NZDF the capacity to deliver a range of services in support of other government departments/agencies, the community and foreign and defence policy objectives. This support may be provided by a combination of deployable force elements and non-deployable support or training units. These operations are generally divided into government support operations and community support operations. The exceptions to this are those operational elements that are actually delivering their output such as Output 5.2 (Inshore Patrol Forces), whose prime purpose is to deliver patrol tasks to meet civilian requirements in New Zealand’s inshore maritime environment and Output 10.3 (CBRE/IEDD) in providing EOD/IEDD support when requested by the NZ Police. The range of services includes emergency tasks and pre-planned Domestic Tasks. The NZDF elements available for emergency tasks, Domestic Tasks and other support services/tasks are detailed at Appendix 2 to Schedule 3 of this Output Plan. The lists within Appendix 2 are not exhaustive and need to be regarded as indicative of the types of support provided by the NZDF. 46. Minor adjustments to the number of community support tasks will result in only minor changes to the cost of output delivery. This is because the fixed costs will be unchanged and only the variable costs will change. However, if the level of community support is increased significantly as a result of a policy decision by the Government, then a much larger increase in output costs could be expected and additional funding may be required. Costing of NZDF Outputs 47. The Defence Force outputs are fully costed in that they include not only the direct costs of the force elements, but also the costs of relevant support and overhead units which are attributed to that output. They also include both fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs are those which can only be varied over periods longer than a year - usually 2 to 10 years - and they include personnel costs and the costs of owning assets, such as depreciation and capital charge. 48. A substantial part of the cost of the Defence Force is fixed (85% to 90%). Variable costs are generally those which relate to the level of activity - such as training; they are also defined as avoidable costs. Variable costs largely arise from the preparedness of NZDF operational outputs. 49. The NZDF uses the Simplified Defence Costing System (SDCS), a component of the NZDF Management and Reporting System (MARS), to derive the cost of Outputs for the Estimates of Appropriations/Budget purposes. The NZDF has 3 A full list of current operational missions is shown in Schedule 3. 4 The term Domestic Tasks was previously known as Multi-Agency Operations and Tasks (MAO&T)

S1 - 13

determined the cost of outputs using a cost allocation system outlined below. The system attributes costs either directly to outputs or uses an attribution method to allocate costs to outputs. The costing model:

a. traces the direct costs of a force element (for example, a squadron, a frigate, a battalion) directly to an appropriate output;

b. attributes support units costs to outputs using drivers that reflect the use of that activity to produce outputs; and

c. attributes overhead costs to outputs using the percentage of that output’s gross operating budget (exclusive of capital charge) to the total gross budget (exclusive of capital charge) for all outputs.

50. The basis for allocation is set for the year. However, the allocation rules are reviewed if there is significant organisational change that is likely to alter the continued appropriateness of the rules. Operational Preparedness Reporting and Evaluation System (OPRES) 51. The measurement of the performance of operationally deployed forces (i.e. activated force elements) is achieved in terms of successful completion of the task or mission within the resources allocated. 52. For those outputs that are not activated within a given year, OPRES provides for the evaluation and reporting of the operational preparedness of NZDF force elements at DLOC. OPRES, which is part of the wider Defence Performance Management System (DPMS), reports to CDF on the standards reached against the standards set as a measure of output delivery. OPRES also informs CDF and the Minister of Defence on the forecast capability of the force elements of the NZDF. 53. The NZDF Inspector General (VCDF) monitors and evaluates the OPRES that provides data on the preparedness of designated force elements at assigned Levels of Capability and Response Times for activation as required. NZDF operational force elements report their preparedness against the output specifications. Each force element reports at regular intervals (currently quarterly). Special reports may also be generated to notify an unexpected change to the preparedness state. 54. Underpinning OPRES is a broad regime of evaluations, including assessments carried out during military exercises, competitions, routine tests of achievement and proficiency, and operational, technical and administrative inspections. Whenever possible, external evaluation by members of allied forces is also arranged. 55. In addition, OPRES provides data for two other important functions. Firstly, it assists in the corporate management of resources to ensure the efficient delivery of NZDF outputs, and, secondly, the results of OPRES inform the processes within the CMF. In this latter respect, any standing deficiencies in output delivery are examined as part of the on-going development of the NZDF’s future capability. 56. The NZDF OPRES continues to be refined. Improvements over recent years include the requirement for the system to be more forward looking (future predictive) and to more clearly identify the impact of risks involved should the force elements be required to deploy on operations.

S1 - 14

Performance Indicators for NZDF Outputs 57. Employment Contexts (discussed earlier) and the military tasks to be performed under each (the Mission Essential Tasks) are the basis against which OLOC for force elements is set and from which, taking into account RT, DLOC is set. DLOC for force elements are expressed through the four ingredients of preparedness (Personnel, Equipment, Trained State and Sustainability) within OPRES. The OPRES performance measurement framework uses Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the three Services. Indicative KPIs are contained in the current OPRES Directive. Operational Preparedness Performance Rating Scale

58. The following Performance Rating Scale is used, within OPRES and in the Statement of Service Performance (SSP) tables that follow, to quantify Force Element performance standards in achieving preparedness relative to the DLOC.5 A performance rating (“P” rating) for a Force Element represents the distillation of a vast amount of underlying performance assessment at varying levels of the NZDF - from individual unit to headquarters. In particular, it involves assessment against each of the key performance indicators, against all applicable Employment Contexts.

5 DLOC should be seen as a band within which there are five ratings (P1 to P5 or fully prepared through to Unavailable

for Assessment). A force element that has been set a P1 rating is at DLOC if it achieves a P1 rating. If that force

element only achieves a P2 rating, it is below its DLOC. Similarly, a force element that has been set a P2 rating for the

year is at DLOC if it achieves a P2 rating – even though it is not fully prepared.

S1 - 15

Performance Rating Scale

Rating Meaning

P1 Fully Prepared. It means that the standards required for all measurement areas, under OPRES, have been achieved by between 90 to 100%. Response Time does not require extending from that specified in Schedule 4. Little or no impact on ability to deliver outputs, meet objectives and goals. The risks are considered acceptable and able to be managed by routine procedures. Little or no resource allocation required.

P2 Substantially Prepared. The force element requires minimal resource input such that the Response Time is projected to be extended by up to the order of 33% in the applicable Employment Context (EC). It means that the standards required for all measurement areas, under OPRES, have been achieved by between 80 and 89%. Output Expense is below the fully prepared level of capability in one or more KMAs but remains capable of being deployed on operations with some tasking limitations or an increase in operational risk.

P3 Partially Prepared. The force element requires a substantial resource input such that the Response Time is projected to be extended by a period in the order of between 34% and 50% in the applicable EC. It means that the standards required for all measurement areas, under OPRES, have been achieved by between 70 to 79%. Output Expense is below the fully prepared level of capability in one or more KMAs, such that the range of employment tasking and/or operational effectiveness and/or sustainment is impaired. Would require a substantial resource input to restore to a fully prepared state.

P4 Not Prepared. The force element requires a level of resource input such that the Response Time for the applicable EC could be expected to be extended by more than 50%. It means that the standards required for all measurement areas, under OPRES, have been achieved by less than 70%. Force elements held at BLOC will be assessed as P4. Force Element is substantially below the fully prepared level of capability with significant risk of mission failure. Force contribution would be unacceptable to UN or coalition partner.

P5 Unavailable for Assessment. The force element/capability is unavailable for assessment. This could be as a result of a capability being deployed, commissioned, or introduced. Force elements held at NLOC will be assessed as P5.

S1 - 16

S1 - 17

Measures for Community Support Services and Domestic Tasks 59. Many of the Force Elements of the Navy, Army and Air Force (especially the Navy and Air Force) undertake Domestic Tasks and contribute to a range of services in support of other government departments, the community, and foreign and defence policy objectives using the capabilities developed for the operational role. 60. Although the delivery of community support services is not a direct measure of output performance, per se, the objective is always to provide these services to the satisfaction of the organisation requesting assistance. Performance is assessed from reports by the organisation supported, and by the appropriate military commander on the military effectiveness of the units employed. 61. These services provide links to the public, utilisation of resources and skills, and an indication of the trained state of the units involved. The delivery of support services can, therefore, contribute indirectly to the assessment of output performance. 62. While pre-planned operations/tasks (under Domestic Tasks) normally require specific quality standards, the quality of other assistance to the government and the community may rely on the satisfaction expressed by the supported party/agency. 63. A list of indicative Domestic Tasks is shown at Appendix 2 to Schedule 3.

Appendix 1 to Schedule 1

Employment Contexts (EC)

An outcome of the review of ECs in 2007 was the provision of guidance on the relative importance of the geographic areas of the ECs in determining, generally, capability requirements by outlining where NZDF responses are non-discretionary, involve limited discretion, or are discretionary, and by indicating where the NZDF is expected to operate independently as a lead nation or as part of a coalition. In summary:

Responses to EC 1 security events are non-discretionary. The NZDF requires the capability to act independently in support of other government agencies to carry out these tasks.

Responses to EC 2 security events involve limited discretion aside from those territories for which New Zealand has constitutional or treaty obligations where responses are non-discretionary. The NZDF requires the capability to act as a lead nation in a coalition to carry out these tasks.

Responses to EC 3 security events involve limited discretion. The NZDF requires the capability to operate in support of the Australian Defence Force and other Australian government agencies to carry out these tasks.

Responses to EC 4 security events are discretionary. The NZDF requires the capability to operate as part of multinational operations [for example - under Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA)] and in support of allies to carry out these tasks.

Responses to EC 5 security events are discretionary. The NZDF requires the capability to operate as part of multinational operations (for example, and most likely - under the United Nations) to carry out these tasks.

The eight ECs in columns highlighted below (ECs 1A, 1D, 2B, 2C, 2E, 4A, 4F, and 5D) are those that have been “amplified” or “fully documented”; i.e. they are supported by strategic-level documentation (including concepts of operations, Military Response Options (MROs)), and operational-level documentation (including contingency planning, and associated Joint Mission Essential Task Lists (JMETLs)). The eight fully documented ECs represent an aggregation of other like ECs across the five geographically defined regions; these associations are identified on pages 2 and 3 of this Appendix. The level of preparedness for JMETLs under each MRO defines the Directed Level of Operational Capability (DLOC) for the eight fully documented ECs and the associated like ECs. [Note that this construct essentially means that most of the 28 ECs have been accounted for within the eight fully documented ECs].

SCHEDULE NO 2:

NZDF FORCE STRUCTURE

Introduction 1. Growth in personnel capability and the introduction of new military capability requires a careful balance between conducting on-going operations (overseas and domestic tasks and the need to have people to train new generations of personnel for further operations. The Government requires the development of military capability to be able to meet current operational requirements while being agile enough to generate new capabilities, as required, to meet new challenges and emerging threats. Purpose 2. This Schedule defines the terminology used in describing NZDF forces involved in the delivery of outputs and records the functional force composition of the NZDF. NZDF Terminology 3. The following terminology is used to describe NZDF military components:

a. Unit

The term Unit is used to identify the organisational components of each Service's force structure that may contribute in part, or in full, to the production of the NZDF Outputs, and includes training, logistic and other support components.

b. Force Element

The Force Elements of the NZDF are the units which directly contribute to the delivery of the NZDF outputs, and which may form part of an Operational Force, e.g. a frigate, an Orion detachment, a Light Task Group. Force elements will be capable of undertaking a limited independent task, or contributing to a Service, joint or combined force.

c. Operational Force An Operational Force is a grouping of force elements, from one or more

Services, designated for operational deployment for a particular task or mission. Such a force invariably includes a command and control headquarters and additional logistic elements.

[The deployment of actual formed force elements, as opposed to ad hoc organisations, is the preferred methodology of managing contributions to operational commitments, especially for Army. However, this may not always be possible].

Force Composition 4. The NZDF structure and outputs are aligned with command responsibilities and accountability for output delivery. NZDF Outputs, in the main, comprise the military capabilities resident in the force elements of the Navy, Army and Air Force. These force elements, at specified levels of capability and preparedness, provide options to the Government for their employment, either individually or collectively, on particular military tasks. Furthermore, while generating capability they also contribute to the defence outcomes required by the Government. The NZDF forces and constituent force elements are shown in the following paragraphs.

a. Navy

Naval Forces comprise Regular Force (RF) personnel, Reserve Force (RF) personnel, ships and supporting infrastructure. These comprise of ships, their personnel and supporting specialist teams. These elements provide flexible options for operational employment as discrete or combined capabilities which are organised to meet mission specific operational force requirements. This flexible capability arrangement is best illustrated in the support to sealift operations. While described as an output expense 3 activity, these may be achieved through a mixture of force elements and deployable specialist teams from all Naval output expenses. Notwithstanding this flexibility in delivering maritime military capability across functional lines, the following standing naval output structure is established to generically describe the Navy’s contribution to NZDF outputs:

Regular Force

(1) Naval Combat Forces. The Naval Combat Forces comprise:

Two ANZAC Class frigates, HMNZ Ships Te Kaha and Te Mana, each capable of embarking one SH-2G (NZ) Seasprite Naval Helicopter, when ordered.

(2) Naval Support Forces. The Naval Support Forces comprise:

i. Replenishment Forces. The replenishment ship, HMNZS Endeavour.

ii. Amphibious Sealift Forces. The Canterbury Class Multi-Role

Vessel, HMNZS Canterbury, capable of embarking SH-2G (NZ) Seasprite Naval Helicopter/s and operating NH-90 helicopters (once accepted into service), when required.

(3) Littoral Warfare Support Forces. The Littoral Warfare Support Forces

comprise the following force elements and specialist teams6:

i. Littoral Warfare Support Vessels. HMNZS Manawanui, SMB Adventure, two Rapid Environmental Assessment support boats (Takapu and Tarapunga), and other small support craft.

ii. Diving Forces. The Operational Diving Team (ODT).

iii. Military Hydrography. The Maritime Survey Team.

6 These forces are functionally grouped for ease of accountability, however, there will be operations that will require these forces to be grouped

differently, e.g., the MCMT may deploy with hydrographic forces for advanced force operations.

S2 - 3

iv. Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Forces. MCM Team (MCMT).

(4). Naval Patrol Forces. The Naval Patrol Forces comprise:

i. Offshore Patrol Force. Two Otago Class Offshore Patrol

Vessels HMNZ Ships Otago and Wellington), each capable of embarking SH-G2 (NZ) Seasprite Naval Helicopters, when required.

ii. Inshore Patrol Force. Four Lake Class Inshore Patrol Vessels

(HMNZ Ships Rotoiti, Hawea, Pukaki and Taupo).

The Royal New Zealand Navy Reserve (RNZNR) has headquarters in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. It provides a limited surge capacity through supplementary manning of RNZN positions ashore and at sea, as well as providing personnel on an occasional basis to operations overseas. The RNZNR provides a limited intelligence component, based on the Maritime Trade Organisation, at HQ JFNZ in support of NZDF maritime force elements.

b. Army

Army Land Forces comprise Regular Force (RF) units, Territorial Force (TF) units and Army Reserve Force units that provide options for employment as discrete elements or that can be task organised to form a Light Task Group (LTG) and/or a Combined Arms Task Group (CATG) for operational deployment.7 The combination of a LTG and a CATG provides an option to deploy an 800 man CATG. Army Land Forces can also provide the framework for Battalion and Brigade Groups for combined arms training in New Zealand. These forces are prepared and maintained by the Chief of Army through the Land Component Commander (LCC) of HQ JFNZ. When deployed on operations, under the operational command of COMJFNZ, and depending on the operational environment, Land Combat Forces (light infantry, motorised, or composite) require the support of Land Combat Support Force Elements (such as artillery, engineers, communications and military police) and Land Combat Service Support Force Elements (such as transport, medical, supply, maintenance support, and movements). These can be deployed as discrete elements or task organised into a number of different Task Groups (TG) for operational deployment. Dependant upon the composition/complexity of the deployed force a TG HQ may also be required. Examples of the TG that can be deployed are:

(1) Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief Task Group (HADR TG);

(2) Stability and Support Operations Task Group (SASO TG); (3) Combined Arms Task Group (CATG); and

(4) Special Operations Task Group (SOTG)

Where a force is deployed, there may be a requirement to round out the deployed force or replace it with a rotation force. This requirement will be met from RF units initially, with further supplementation from TF Units and the Army Reserves. Any force that is deployed overseas, whether a single force element or a

7 Civilian personnel employed by Army may, on a volunteer basis, also be deployed on operational missions from time to time.

S2 - 4

LTG/CATG, requires a National Command Element (NCE) and a National Support Element (NSE). These may be integrated within the force element or may be deployed separately, especially if a LTG or CATG is deployed. With the formation of Headquarters Deployable Joint Task Force (Land) (HQ DJTF(L)), the function of the NCE will be subsumed as a part of the role of this headquarters. If the entire headquarters does not deploy, it is likely a sub element will deploy to enable the NCE function to be conducted. Positions in the HQ DJTF(L) will be shadow posted from other positions in Army to allow subsequent rotations to occur. In addition, a DJTF(L) is Army’s contribution to either a Deployable Joint Inter-Agency Task Force Headquarters or a coalition equivalent. Examples of land forces that may be employed separately (as Force Elements) are:

A Special Operations (SO) Squadron A Composite Engineer Squadron (non-sustainable) A Manoeuvre Company (light infantry, motorised or composite) Medical elements (for short-term non-sustainable tasks) An Indirect Fire Support Battery A composite Logistic Squadron (sustainable) (Note: Communications are considered as enablers to support the above force elements, rather than being force elements in their own right, while all force elements will also contain logistic enablers.

A Light Task Group (LTG) can conduct either Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief (HADR), or Stability and Support Operations (SASO) tasks. It will include combat, combat service support (CSS), and limited combat support (CS) elements. This TG itself will be determined by the task and is normally based around a single sub-unit sized element. A LTG may consist of some or all of the following:

A Unit Level HQ A Manoeuvre Company (light infantry, motorised or composite), including

integral C2, Reconnaissance, and Information Operations elements. A SO Troop An Electronic Warfare element A NCE (including a Strategic Communications Element, and All Sources

Intelligence Cell) A NSE (including a Strategic Communications Element) A Combat Support and Combat Service Support Element

A Combined Arms Task Group (CATG) is designed primarily to conduct combat operations. The manoeuvre sub unit(s) used may be light infantry, cavalry or composite. The composition of the deployed force will be dependant on the task and the amount of local, coalition or contractor resources available in theatre to support the force. In a worst case, the CATG must be largely self-sufficient for independent operations. This TG is based around two or more sub-unit sized elements. A CATG may consist of some or all of the following:

A Unit Level HQ A Manoeuvre Company (light infantry, cavalry or composite), including integral

First Line Logistics elements. A Reconnaissance and Surveillance element A SO Troop An Indirect Fire Support element A Composite Engineer Squadron An Improvised Explosive Device Disposal / Explosive Ordnance Disposal

(IEDD/EOD) Team An Electronic Warfare element

S2 - 5

A Military Police detachment A Combat Services Support Platoon, including:

A Field Supply detachment A Field Services detachment A Transport detachment A Movements detachment A Maintenance Support detachment

A Health Support detachment A NCE (including a Strategic Communications Element, and All Sources

Intelligence Cell) A NSE (including a Strategic Communications Element)

The combination of the above Task Groups (LTG and CATG) provides an option to deploy an 800-man CATG. The 800-man CATG is scalable, adaptable and is optimised for an EC 2 environment. Task organised groups can be tailored to conduct a variety of missions inclusive of humanitarian assistance/disaster relief and support operations, combat or special operations. It can include combat, CS and CSS elements. If manoeuvre based, it may be light infantry, motorised or composite. The CATG is possibly supported by special operations and is supported by information operations and enhanced communications, intelligence and geospatial information systems capabilities.

An indicative Battalion Group for training may consist of some or all of the following:

A Battalion (light infantry, cavalry, motorised, or composite), including a

Battalion Group Headquarters, up to three Rifle Companies and an intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) element.

A SO element An Indirect Fire Support element A composite Engineer Squadron Communications elements (including a Strategic Communications

Element and an Electronic Warfare element) A Military Police element A Combat Services Support Group, including:

A Field Supply element A Transport element A Movements element An Improvised Explosive Device Disposal / Explosive Ordnance Disposal (IEDD/EOD) Team A Field Repair and Recovery element

A Health Support element

An indicative Brigade Group for training may consist of some or all of the following:

Brigade Headquarters 3 x Manoeuvre Battalions A SO element 2 x Field Artillery Batteries

1 x Signals Squadron (including Strategic Communications elements and an Electronic Warfare element) 1 x Engineer Regiment 1 x Logistics Battalion, including:

1 x Transport Company 1 x Movements Company (including Strategic Movements staff) 1 x Supply Company 1 x Workshop Company

Commando Forces provided by 1 NZ SAS Regt, reinforced from the three Services.

1st New Zealand Explosive Ordnance Disposal Squadron [providing Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Explosive (CBRE) response] (Teams drawn NZDF- wide from Army, Navy and Air Force).

The Army Reserve Army Reserves provide personnel to enable the rotation pool to be deployed to sustain the initial deployment force in most areas of Combat, Combat Support and Combat Services Support elements. The Army Reserves will be trained in Force Protection of deployed elements and in specific instances Army Reserves personnel will provide specialist capability. Army Reserve Units comprise: 2nd/4th Canterbury, Nelson, Marlborough, West Coast, Otago, Southland Battalion Group 3rd/6th Auckland, Northland, Hauraki Battalion Group

5th/7th Wellington, West Coast, Taranaki, Hawke’s Bay Battalion Group

1 (NZ) Bde will include Army Reserve elements as an integral part of operational units. Army Reserve Units will conduct collective training within the LCC’s training programme.

S2 - 8

c. Air Force

The Air Force contributes force elements drawn from squadrons operating a number of different types of aircraft. Force elements can be tailored to meet a given contingency. For example, although more than one Hercules may be held ready against a particular Employment Context, any number, up to the maximum specified, may be deployed, depending on the circumstances. Normally, all of the aircraft flown by a squadron cannot be committed to one contingency as ongoing coverage of National Tasks, the training of rotation forces and scheduled maintenance requirements continue in parallel with the operational deployment. Furthermore, over the period 2008/09 to 2014/15 the RNZAF is upgrading or replacing the entire operational fleet of aircraft.

Personnel required to provide support to RNZAF Force Elements when deployed, include administrative, logistics and Aeromedical Evacuation (AME) specialists, as well as rotational personnel. There is, consequently, a practical limit to the number of separate RNZAF deployments that can be supported concurrently. Normally, only two full force element commitments can be supported, with one operating from a supported base (extant infrastructure, security, fuel, etc) and one from a bare base (a tented camp established with no pre-existing infrastructure available). Each operation will have its own peculiar requirements that will result in a tailored mix of deployed personnel.

The Forces held ready by the Air Force include:

(1) Airborne Surveillance and Response Forces. The Airborne

Surveillance and Response Forces (formerly the Maritime Patrol Forces) comprise:

No 5 Squadron RNZAF, equipped with six P-3K and P-3K2 Orion aircraft.

(2) Fixed Wing Transport Forces. The Fixed Wing Transport Forces

comprise:

No 40 Squadron RNZAF, equipped with two Boeing 757-200 aircraft for strategic transport, and five C-130H Hercules aircraft to provide both strategic and tactical air transport.

(3) Rotary Wing Transport Forces. The Rotary Wing Transport Forces

comprise:

No 3 Squadron RNZAF, equipped with 10 UH-1H Iroquois helicopters. In addition, there is the Helicopter Transition Unit, which is responsible for the introduction into service of the NH90 and A109 helicopters. The introduction into service process will incrementally release capability as each operational test and evaluation phase is completed. That process is expected to be completed in mid-2013 for the eight A109 and mid-2014 for the eight NH90.

(4) Naval Helicopter Forces. The Naval Helicopter Forces comprise:

No 6 Squadron RNZAF, equipped with five SH-2G(NZ) Seasprite Naval helicopters.

[Note: The RNZAF is responsible for the training of Seasprite helicopter RNZN aircrew and the provision and training of Ship’s Flights maintenance personnel, for operational employment by the RNZN].

S2 - 9

(5) Expeditionary Support. No 209 Squadron provides expeditionary support for military air operations at RNZAF bases, commercial airports and for exercise and operational deployments within New Zealand and overseas. No 209 Squadron is the mounting squadron for the deployment of RNZAF Force Elements. Elements of 209 Squadron may also be detached and deployed independently in support of emergency and contingency operations. The functions of 209 Squadron comprise:

i. Force Protection. Responsible for operational security, ground defence and physical training functions including key point security, escorts, air transport security, CBRN defence and dog patrols. This element also supports RNZAF security and incident investigations and provides core military skills, pre-deployment and weapons training for RNZAF personnel.

ii. Air Communications and Information Systems. Responsible for

radio and data communications in support of RNZAF bases and aircraft operations. This involves the design, build, deployment and maintenance of computer, radio, telephone, information systems and associated infrastructure and the provision of personnel in support of base and deployed RNZAF operations, including command and control linkages with headquarters.

iii. Air Movements. Responsible for the provision of military

passenger and cargo terminal services at RNZAF and civilian airfields and airstrips and for the provision of air loading teams in support of deployed RNZAF operations. One of these teams is permanently deployed to Christchurch Airport in direct support of multi-national logistic airlift operations to Antarctica.

iv. Aviation Refuelling. Responsible for the control and delivery of

aviation fuel on RNZAF airfields, exercises and operational deployments, including provision of a deployable bulk fuel installation with the capability to hold and distribute 180,000 litres of aviation fuel.

v. Survival Training Centre. Responsible for providing training to

endow NZDF Aircrew and selected RNZAF ground personnel with the skills, attitude, knowledge and practical experience required to maximise their potential for survival, evasion, resistance & escape in all areas of potential engagement.

vi. Strategic Aero-Medical Evacuation. Following introduction into

service, responsible for the provision and maintenance of air transportable equipment to convey low, medium and/or high-dependency patients. Clinical support to tasks is provisioned through DMED(F), on specification by HQJFNZ (J1 Health).

(6) Integrated Mission Support. No 230 Squadron is a centralised

facility that provides coordinated ground-based mission support to RNZAF Force Elements and 209 Squadron. Support is provided within New Zealand and to deployed force elements on operations.

(7) Parachute Training Support. The Parachute Training and Support Unit is a specialist unit responsible for military parachute and dispatcher training for NZDF parachutists, emergency parachute training for NZDF aircrew, and specialist parachutist despatch support to force elements during exercises and operations, both within New Zealand and overseas.

S2 - 10

Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence 5. Generically the three Services and, more especially, HQ JFNZ, maintain elements and supporting communications systems that would contribute to the command, control, communications and intelligence requirements necessary to co-ordinate maritime, land and air operations. HQ JFNZ also maintains a Joint Reconnaissance Team (JRT) able to be deployed to satisfy operational planning information requirements. The deployment of NZDF force elements may require the provision of a small component to command a single Service operation, staff supplementation to a Multi-National Headquarters to provide national input to coalition operations, or the provision of a Deployable Joint Inter-Agency Task Force Headquarters to command a regional joint operation. As appropriate, the headquarters and units from which these command, control, communications and intelligence components would be constituted are:

a. HQ NZDF

Elements of HQ NZDF, as required, including from DDIS Joint Electronic Warfare Support Facility (JEWSF) NZDF Geospatial Intelligence Organisation (GIO)

SCHEDULE NO 3:

NZDF OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS FOR 2013/14 NZDF Output Requirements 2011 – 2015 1. The Defence White Paper 2010 provided unambiguous direction with respect to New Zealand’s security interests and the role of the NZDF:

a. The core task of the NZDF is to conduct military operations.

b. Given our interests and obligations, operations in New Zealand’s maritime zone and the South Pacific are the starting point for choosing military capabilities.

c. New Zealand must be interoperable with our principal partners. 2. In furtherance of the Government’s requirements for Defence, the Chief of Defence Force has directed that in the period 2011 – 2015, the delivery of military capability is to concentrate on:

a. achieving dominance in New Zealand’s maritime domain8 and the South Pacific region, through the generation of a joint amphibious capability, a sustained level of maritime patrol and an improved output level from intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance activities;

b. the capability to conduct regional activities (i.e., NZDF capabilities necessary to conduct military operations and respond to humanitarian aid and disaster relief (HADR)9, non combatant evacuation, (NEO) and stability and support operations (SASO); and

c. maintaining security in the region through joint maritime patrols in support of the management of Pacific Island nations’ exclusive economic zones.

3. This refocused output requirement is reflected in the preparedness expectations of Output Expenses 2 to 14 below.

8 The requirement to conduct patrol, surveillance and response operations within New Zealand’s maritime domain is considered the primary role

of the Naval Patrol Forces and the Airborne Surveillance and Response Forces. There is no Response Time associated with this role. However,

some force elements are to be at an appropriate Degree of Notice to respond to National Maritime Coordination Centre (NMCC) requests to

respond to Vessels of Interest, Aid to Civil Power and Military Assistance to Government Departments in times of emergency.

9 The capability to respond to HADR events is a contingent military capability achieved through force elements capability generated from military

operations; as a consequence it is not a role that requires additional training or resources. Relevant force elements are to be held at an

appropriate Degree of Notice.

S3 - 2

NZDF Output Expenses and Outputs for 2013/14 4. The refocused output requirement, as above, is reflected in the preparedness expectations (single Service performance) of Output Expenses 2 to 14 below. Details of the key performance indicators that underlie the performance standards, the performance rating scale, and employment contexts are explained in Schedule 1. 5. A summary of the directed level of capability for 2013/14 against relevant ECs is shown at Appendix 1 to this Schedule. This appendix amplifies the ECs from Schedule 1 and summarises availability and preparedness of force elements. 6. Note, for EC 1 (border protection, EEZ patrols, and terrorism) and EC 2 (natural and manmade disasters) security challenges, the capability to respond to these events is a contingent military capability achieved through force elements’ capability generated for military operations. As a consequence, these are not tasks that require additional resources. Accordingly, relevant force elements are available for tasking or held at an appropriate degree of notice, rather than at the ‘P’ ratings. This change took effect from the 2011/12 reporting year. 7. For estimated sea days and flying hours for 2013/14, ranges are based on the target plus or minus 5%. Domestic Tasks 8. The NZDF has the capacity to deliver a range of services in support of other government departments, the community, and foreign and defence policy objectives. This support may be provided by a combination of deployable force elements and non-deployable support or training units. These operations are generally divided into government support operations and community support operations. 9. The term ‘domestic tasks’ is used to describe both the formal, pre-planned support to specific government departments and agencies, and the unplanned emergency support in times of crisis. Domestic tasks are a significant function for the NZDF within New Zealand’s range of security events. Undertaking domestic tasks is a joint activity and typically involves operations concerned with the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone/maritime environment and New Zealand territory, including border patrol. 10. For a list of indicative NZDF support to the Government and Community, see Appendix 2 to this Schedule.

11. While the cost of an anticipated range of community services is included in the costing of NZDF Outputs, any unforeseen major support tasks may require additional government funding or reprioritisation. Provision of a Deployable National Command Element or Contribution to a Combined/Coalition Headquarters 12. The Navy, Army and Air Force maintain headquarters and other elements and communications systems that provide the command, control, communications and intelligence elements necessary to co-ordinate maritime, land and air operations respectively. HQ JFNZ maintains a JRT to be deployed, when ordered, to satisfy operational information requirements. The deployment of NZDF force elements on operations may require the establishment of a deployable national command element for the command and control of deployed forces. HQDJTF(L) will provide the basis for this deployable national command element, with supplementation from the three Services as required. The HQDJTF(L) will also provide the nucleus of any NZDF contribution to either a Deployable Joint Inter-Agency Task Force Headquarters or a coalition equivalent. Additional staff requirements may be drawn from HQJFNZ and the other Services.

S3 - 3

Intended Major Exercises and Activities 13. Exercises are the principal means by which all force elements are trained collectively to achieve the skills to work jointly with other Services and to work with the armed forces of other nations as either an integrated or combined force. Major NZDF and single Service exercises provide a means for force elements to maintain their Directed Level of Capability (DLOC). A brief explanation of the exercise/activity, the force elements participating, associated output expenses, likely dates and locations, are provided at Appendix 3 to this Schedule. Appendix 3 is an extract from the NZDF Exercise and Activity Scheduler (NZDF EAS). The EAS provides the framework for much of the evaluation and assessment, the feedback from which should drive continuous improvement. 14. Selected major exercises and activities are subject to evaluation, internal and external. While evaluation will be predominantly focused on the achievement of DLOC standards, there also needs to be scope to use these evaluations to meet the needs of other NZDF business groups, such as DPE, Defence College, or Capability. There is also scope to use evaluation of exercises and activities to determine the extent to which NZDF strategic goals are being met. For these purposes, NZDF evaluation planning will include identification of, and consultation with, a wide group of stakeholders to ensure that, wherever possible, their needs are included in the evaluation. This may require the stakeholder to contribute resources to the evaluation in some cases. The exercises and activities to be evaluated in 2013/14 are listed at Appendix 3 to this Schedule.

OUTPUT EXPENSE 4: LITTORAL WARFARE SUPPORT FORCES

SERVICE PERFORMANCE Description The provision of forces to ensure access to and the use of harbours, inshore waters and associated coastal zones in New Zealand and wherever NZDF deployed maritime forces are required to operate. The units and specialist teams permanently assigned to the Littoral Warfare Support Forces (LWSF) include the Littoral Warfare Support Vessels, the Mine Countermeasures Team (MCMT), the Operational Diving Team (ODT) and the Maritime Survey Team (MST), prepared for employment under Employment Contexts 1 to 5. This output includes HMNZS Manawanui and similar support vessels including Survey Motor Boat Adventure and the Rapid Environmental Assessment Boats Takapu and Tarapunga. The delivery of this output expense is coordinated by the Littoral Warfare10 Support Group (LWSG) with the component teams or parts thereof able to be either deployed individually or as a composite force. The LWSF is responsible for the execution of Rapid Environmental Assessments (REA) and conducting related advanced force tasks in support of sealift/amphibious operations. The LWSF is therefore a key enabler to OE 3.2 Outputs. It also includes contributions to a range of other services provided to Government and the community. These primarily relate to specialist underwater search and recovery tasks, which are beyond the capabilities of other government agencies and commercial providers. Associated Outputs OUTPUT 4.1 - LITTORAL WARFARE SUPPORT VESSELS

The provision of the Littoral Warfare Support Vessels, consisting of HMNZS Manawanui, SMB Adventure, the two REA support boats (Takapu and Tarapunga) and a range of other small craft, prepared to support:

• specialist underwater search operations in particular route surveys and conditioning of selected New Zealand ports (EC1) and approaches;

• military diving operations including removal/neutralisation of underwater objects or explosive devices around New Zealand ports and associated waterways under EC 1; and

• specialist underwater search and diving operations enabling deployed military operations in particular support to amphibious sealift forces, under EC 2 to 5.

Cost - $4.598 million OUTPUT 4.2 - DIVING FORCE

The provision of the Operational Diving Team (ODT), capable of fielding two independent diving detachments prepared for the conduct of military diving operations in ECs 1 to 5.11

Note: Any IEDD support for emergency national response tasks is covered under Output 10.3. Notwithstanding Output 10.3, the RNZN, in delivering Output 4.2, maintains its own integral EOD capability and IEDD specialists. When required, the ODT also provides a range of specialist underwater search and recovery capabilities in support of the NZ Police. This support typically takes the form of a composite ODT and MCMT specialist underwater search detachment, which is covered by a NZDF/police implementing arrangement within the broader NZDF – NZ Police Memorandum of Understanding. Cost - $11.414 million

10 Littoral Warfare in a NZ context is defined as: “Military operations undertaken in areas of the sea susceptible to influence or support from the land, and in areas of the

land susceptible to influence or support from the sea.”

11 Diving operations range from detecting, neutralising, removing, exploiting and disposing of mines, explosive ordnance, IEDs and underwater obstacles/obstructions in

the maritime environment through to underwater engineering and underwater survey and clearance of beaches, harbours, ports and approaches.

S3 - 13

OUTPUT 4.3 - MILITARY HYDROGRAPHY (MILH) FORCE

The provision of the Maritime Survey Team (MST) available to conduct military hydrography in support of amphibious, sealift and other naval operations. Detachments from the MST may be deployed independently, onboard RNZN vessels or utilise craft of opportunity for the conduct of military hydrography tasks. This output includes personnel embedded within the NZDF Geospatial Intelligence Organisation supporting the creation of military hydrographic products and hydrographic subject matter expertise.

Geospatial data is also provided to the MST by the MCMT using its Remote Environmental Measuring and Underwater System (REMUS) and by the ODT using its Diver underwater Search System (DUSS). Note: The MST may, when it is mutually beneficial to do so, provide support to Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) in the gathering of data to support New Zealand’s maritime charting needs and those of our Pacific Islands neighbours. The OPVs (OE 5.1) are being modified to allow them to accommodate survey equipment previously used by HMNZS Resolution, which will allow them to provide open water survey support for MST operations in the Pacific. The first installation will occur on HMNZS Otago during an existing planned maintenance over the period March – June 2013 with the associated trials and capability release due to be undertaken in July 2013. The other OPV, HMNZS Wellington, will undergo the same modifications in late FY 2013/14, with capability release due in June 2014.

Cost – $7.763 million OUTPUT 4.4 - MINE COUNTERMEASURE (MCM) FORCE

The provision of a MCM Team (MCMT) which, together with a supporting ODT Mine Clearance detachment, is prepared to conduct:

• Pre-Mining Event: Route surveys and conditioning of selected New Zealand ports (EC1) and approaches as well as specialist underwater search operations and support to amphibious sealift forces, under ECs 1 to 5.

• Post-Mining Event: Route surveys and removal/neutralisation of underwater explosive devices opening safe sea lines of communication to key New Zealand ports and waterways under EC 1 as well as ahead of amphibious forces operating within a mine threat area, under EC 2 to 5.

• Domestic Tasks: Conduct specialist underwater search and recovery tasks which are beyond the capabilities of other government agencies and commercial providers under EC 1.

Notes:

1. Definitions of Light Task Group (LTG) and Combined Arms Task Group (CATG):

A LTG is designed to have a deployed strength of up to 260 personnel to conduct primarily humanitarian and disaster relief and stability and support tasks. It can include combat, combat service support (CSS) and limited combat support (CS) elements. If manoeuvre based, it may be light infantry, motorised or composite. The LTG is supported by Information Operations (IO) and enhanced communications, intelligence and Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) capabilities.

The LTG will be available for operations across Employment Contexts 1 to 5 (inclusive),

however, it is designed primarily for the EC 1 and 2 environments. This TG is based around a single sub-unit sized element.

A CATG allows for a scaleable group of up to 560 personnel providing a range of combined

arms capabilities, including combat, CS and CSS; it may be light, motorised or composite based. The scale of the deployed force will be dependent on the amount of local, coalition or contractor resources available in theatre to support the force. In a worst case the CATG must be largely self-sufficient for independent operations. The CATG is based around two or more sub-unit sized elements. The CATG will be available for operations across Employment Contexts 1 to 5 (inclusive).

The combination of the above Task Groups (LTG and CATG) provides an option to deploy an

800-man CATG. The 800-man CATG is scalable, adaptable and is optimised for an EC 2 environment. Task organised groups can be tailored to conduct a variety of missions inclusive of humanitarian assistance/disaster relief and support operations, combat or special operations. It can include combat, CS and CSS elements. If manoeuvre based, it may be light infantry, motorised or composite. The CATG is possibly supported by special operations and is supported by information operations and enhanced communications, intelligence and geospatial information systems capabilities.

2. The provision of a sustainable LTG and a sustainable CATG is in addition to current NZDF-

supported United Nations and Multinational Force and Observers peace keeping missions.

Deployment Impacts:

If a high proportion of the Special Forces capability was deployed on actual operations, any other concurrent contribution from this output would be very limited. This does not, however, affect the ability of the NZDF to continue to fully deliver force elements for the Counter-Terrorist capability.

The number of personnel qualified and available to deliver CBRE is currently limited. The deployment of any personnel from this output to Output Expense Operationally Deployed Forces would have a major impact on training and the ability of the NZDF to deliver CBRE.

Number of Orion aircraft available for military tasks - from a total fleet of six aircraft.

The number of Orion aircraft available during 2013/14 for tasking will be constrained by having two or three aircraft in upgrade, aircrew transition training, testing and evaluation and continuing capability development of the new systems. The upgrade is expected to be completed by the end of FY 2013/14. The reduced fleet size will have an impact on the duration of any operational deployments and the ability to rotate any such deployments. The requirement to sustain core and directed level of capability training will also affect the nature and extent of tasking that can be undertaken by the fleet during the period.

Notes

The NH-90 and A-109 helicopters will be available for limited domestic transport tasks within EC1, but not ECs 1A and 1D, which are two assessed for preparedness. If sufficient priority exists, the NH-90 and/or A-109 could be called upon to halt capability development activity and undertake tasks of national significance where the operational, strategic or political effect of their employment outweighs the risks associated with utilising an immature military system for operations. To employ the new helicopters in this way, the Chief of Defence Force (on advice from the Chief of Air Force) would have to be satisfied that the risks to safe and effective mission completion were acceptable and manageable in light of the importance of the activity.

S3 - 46

Operational tasks in high threat environments, which may be encountered under ECs 4 - 5, are beyond the current capabilities of the Iroquois helicopter. This situation will not improve until the NH-90 helicopters have been fully introduced into service. The Iroquois retains a limited level of capability for low-level operational tasks within these ECs.

The numbers of personnel operationally deployed fluctuate from month to month during the year. These fluctuations result from missions closing and opening, short term deployments, seasonal variations to the numbers involved in specific missions, and so on. It is therefore not particularly relevant to compare the budgeted numbers at the start of the financial year with the estimated numbers at the end of the financial year. However, a year on year comparison provides an indicator of the trend of personnel deployed (more or less), but still does not capture short-term deployments that at the start of the year were not known.

Appendix 2 to Schedule 3

DOMESTIC TASKS General 1. The NZDF has the capacity to deliver a range of services in support of other government departments, the community, and foreign and defence policy objectives. This support may be provided by a combination of deployable force elements and non-deployable support or training units. These operations are generally divided into government support operations and community support operations. Government Support Operations Public Service and Aid to the Civil Power

2. Under s.9 of the Defence Act 1990, the Armed Forces may be used to perform any public service or to provide assistance to the civil power in time of emergency. 3. Under public service, the NZDF is expected to assist government departments sustain essential services in an emergency, including during periods of industrial unrest. This includes such tasks as assistance to Civil Defence and Emergency Management in times of natural disasters, search and rescue, response to maritime pollution incidents, and provision of support to the Corrections Department when, due to industrial dispute, normal arrangements fail.

4. Assistance to the civil power includes assistance to the NZ Police to maintain law and order and for internal security purposes. Operations may necessitate NZDF personnel to be armed and authorised to use force. The primary task under this category is Counter-Terrorist operations in the land and maritime environments. 5. The main NZDF elements that are to be available for emergency tasks, listed by Service, are shown at Table 1. The NZDF maintains elements at specified degrees of notice (DON) for response to such emergencies, as shown in the table below. Availability is to be reported in the NZDF’s Annual Report.

Appx 2/S3 - 2

Table 1. NZDF Elements Available for Emergency Tasks

Service Elements Available - with Degree of Notice (DON) where applicable

Navy • One frigate (or alternative vessel) at eight hours’ DON for emergency tasks, including SAR and Medical Assistance/Evacuation.

• One Inshore Patrol Vessel (IPV) at eight hours’ DON for emergency tasks, including SAR.

• One Diving Team at six hours’ DON for emergency tasks including under-water search and EOD/IEDD and 12 hours’ DON when embarked

• One 25-person Civil Defence Response Group.

• On-shore personnel for fire fighting, as available.

Army • Personnel in North Island and South Island at for emergency tasks, including SAR, Fire Fighting, and Casualty/Medical Evacuation.

• Personnel On Call for Civil Defence:

- HQ elements in North Island and South Island to support a Civil Defence HQ.

- Four 25-person Response Groups.

- Two 100-person National Reserve Groups.

- One 500-person Reserve.

- EOD/IEDD Teams in North Island and South Island at 12 hours’ DON.

Support to Specific Government Departments and Agencies 6. This support is a significant function for the NZDF, within New Zealand’s spectrum of operations. This support is a joint, multi-agency activity and typically involves operations concerned with New Zealand’s EEZ/maritime environment and New Zealand territory, including border patrol. 7. The majority of this support is provided to the National Maritime Coordination Centre (NMCC). The NMCC’s role is to coordinate the effective use of aircraft and ships for the purposes of conducting civilian maritime patrols from a national perspective. The major NZDF contribution to the NMCC is tasking of the Inshore Patrol Vessels (IPVs), which were purchased directly to meet the inshore (out to 24 nautical miles) patrol requirement. (The IPVs are therefore a delivered output.) A significant portion of the capacity of the Offshore Patrol Vessels is also available for NMCC tasks. The P-3K/2 Orion is the principal aerial reconnaissance asset available to the NMCC.

21 Due to aircraft upgrade and replacement programmes, there may be short periods when DON requirements are not able to be met. In these cases,

alternative arrangements will be made to provide coverage.

Appx 2/S3 - 3

8. There are six core agencies that require most of the maritime patrols. These are: the New Zealand Customs Service; the Ministry for Primary Industries; the Department of Conservation; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade; the New Zealand Police; and Maritime New Zealand.

9. The NZDF also provides routine assistance to government departments and agencies. This includes other support to those agencies listed above, and support to other departments such as the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Department of Internal Affairs, Antarctica New Zealand and Government House. Community Support Operations 10. The NZDF may, in some circumstances, be able to provide assistance to civil authorities. This encompasses short-term assistance for special events and those of significant value to the local community, such as events for charity and training. A list of indicative NZDF government support operations and community support operations are listed in the following table. 11. A list of indicative NZDF Domestic Tasks, are listed at Table 2 below. The scale and frequency of such tasks, unless pre-programmed, are not forecast. However, a summary of actual support provided is required for reporting purposes, and will be included in the Annual Report of the NZDF. Table 2. List of Indicative Domestic Tasks
