Development of the New Zealand Light Armoured Vehicle Company

Abstract

This personal experience paper relates to my involvement in the development of the New Zealand Light Armored Vehicle (NZLAV) Company. Change will always be something I will be wary of; however, change can be good, and if managed carefully can positively affect all who are involved. The introduction of the NZLAV meant a series of changes were to occur in our army, from the formation of new units, the combining of others, and eventually integration and disbandment. As the Company Sergeant Major (CSM) NZLAV Company, I had a leading role in the development of the unit that would operate the NZLAV. My role in the development of this unit was to ensure all the soldiers were properly trained in team tactics and build unit cohesion. This is my story.
