Close-range rapid fire | New Zealand Army

New Zealand Army soldiers from 2nd/1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, recently sharpened their shooting skills alongside troops from the 5th/7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, and marines from the Philippine Marine Corps and United States Marine Corps during Exercise Balikatan. This year’s exercise involved more than 17,000 personnel from New Zealand, the Philippines, Australia, the United States, Canada, France, and Japan. Participation in Exercise Balikatan provided the New Zealand Army the opportunity to strengthen interoperability, build relationships, deepen defence cooperation, and improve combat readiness. #ShoulderToShoulder #BK26
