On Saturday, Dame Cindy took up the role of Reviewing Officer for the 2025 New Zealand Commissioning Course. 35 graduates, including 10 international students, have completed a gruelling 11-month long course and will now join the Army as officers.
A stunning day in Waiouru enabled family and friends to get a look at Ngāti Tūmatauenga | The New Zealand Army’s newest leaders as they marched on parade accompanied by the New Zealand Army Band.
