When deployed on overseas operations, the Army Reserves are far more than just soldiers; they are symbols of New Zealand's generous spirit and commitment to global peace in uncertain times.

Join the Army Reserve

The Army Reserve is a part-time job like no other. It provides New Zealanders with a unique challenge and set of experiences that cannot be found anywhere else. The Army Reserve offers leadership training, weapon handling techniques and many other practical skills which you can apply in your every day life. Whether your everyday life involves accounting, brick-laying or customer service – the Army Reserve will give you a new confidence, a new outlook and new mates.

We are currently looking for candidates to form the next Army Reserve intake. This intake is scheduled for November 2010, and you will need to be able to commit to an initial 7 weeks of training.

Once this course has been completed, you will need to commit to a minimum of 20 days service per year. This typically means one weekend per month.

Ready to take the next step?

You can apply online.

Note: Filling in the application questionnaire is the first step in the application process and does not commit you to serve in New Zealand's Army.
