Integration of vehicles, weapons, and soldiers working together to deliver combat effects when it matters. Train hard. Be ready.

Victor, Whiskey, and Support Companies are steadily building toward platoon-level combined live-fire exercises—day and night- incorporating both NZLAV and Bushmaster vehicles by the end of the exercise.

This training is a key step in maintaining the Battalion’s combat readiness, bringing infantry, armour, and support elements together as a cohesive, capable team—ready for operations when called upon.
