| Summary/Abstract |
Over the past two and a half years, Defence has seen significant updates to its policy settings. These have included the introduction of the 'Community, Nation, World' framework, which acknowledges the New Zealand Defence Force's important role in supporting community well-being and national resilience. An important theme that derives from this framework is Defence support to other agencies' outcomes. The establishment of clear, concise 'Defence Principles' articulate long-standing and widely held expectations of our defence force, and describe at a fundamental level what it is, and how it should operate and promote New Zealand's interests and values.
