HISTORY of the RNZIR

The Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment is the parent administrative unit of all infantry units in the New Zealand Army

It was originally formed in 1947 with a singular Regular regiment and multiple reserve regiments. Over time, the regiments were turned into battalions, the reserve units amalgamated and more regular units raised and disbanded. Currently, the Regiment currently consists of two regular and three reserve battalions. Throughout its existence, units raised in this regiment have served and deployed on operations in Malaya, Vietnam, Borneo and various United Nations peacekeeping operations. Structure

The RNZIR currently consists of two regular and three reserve infantry battalions:

1st Battalion (1 RNZIR) – Regular 2/1st Battalion (2/1 RNZIR) – Regular 2nd/4th Battalion (2/4 RNZIR) – Reserve 3rd/6th Battalion (3/6 RNZIR) – Reserve 5th/7th Battalion (5/7 RNZIR) – Reserve
