Transcription

Background

Under previous legislation, the three services—New Zealand Army, Royal New Zealand Navy and Royal New Zealand Air Force—were part of the Ministry of Defence. Post-1990, the Ministry of Defence is a separate policy-making body under a secretary of defence; the chief of defence force and secretary of defence (head of the ministry) have both separate and shared responsibilities.[1]

Provisions

Part 1: Constitution of armed forces

The Act constitutes the armed forces "in the name and on behalf of the Sovereign" and grants the governor-general the power of the raise armed forces.[2] The governor-general is, under the Letters Patent 1983, commander-in-chief of New Zealand.[3][4] The Defence Act greatly restricts the powers of the commander-in-chief, unlike the US president as commander-in-chief for example.[5]

The Act then states that the minister of defence: "...shall have the power of control of the New Zealand Defence Force, which shall be exercised through the Chief of Defence Force."[6]

Part 2: The New Zealand Defence Force

The Act defines the different services of New Zealand Defence Forces:

And various reserve and territorial services.[7]

Part 3: Secretary of defence, chief of Defence Force, and chiefs of service

The Act defines the secretary of defence as the chief executive of the Ministry of Defence, the chief of Defence Force as "principal military adviser to the Minister and other Ministers" and the other chiefs of the services of the defence force.[8]

Part 4: Terms and conditions of service

Section 34 of the Act defines the Armed forces oath.[9]
