New Zealand Cadet Corps - Uniform and Insignia

Uniform and Insignia

The uniform worn by NZCC members is the same as that of the New Zealand Army, except that for all ranks, the lettering on the bottom of the rank insignia shoulder boards reads CADET FORCES rather than NEW ZEALAND to differentiate NZCC personnel from New Zealand Army personnel. Furthermore, NZCC rank insignia are red, a colour no longer used by the New Zealand Army for rank insignia. Officer Service Dress Uniforms have a shoulder flash reading NEW ZEALAND CADET FORCES, rather than NEW ZEALAND for the same reason. The cadets wear a NZCF cap badge (same as NZCC logo) on their beret, Cadets wear their achievements on a shoulder brassard. Officers who were formerly cadets do not wear their cadet awards on the officer uniform..

Uniforms worn by the New Zealand Cadet Forces:

  • Service Dress All Ranks (SDAR)
  • Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM)

    Truly man is a marvelously vain, diverse, and undulating object. It is hard to found any constant and uniform judgment on him.
